[PATCH net v2 1/2] net: stmmac: propagate FPE preemption-class mapping errors

From: Lorenzo Bianconi

Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 12:26:27 EST


stmmac_fpe_map_preemption_class() dispatches through the
stmmac_do_void_callback() helper, which forces the callback's return
value to 0 whenever the op pointer is populated. As a result the
-EINVAL returned by dwmac5_fpe_map_preemption_class() (e.g. when a
preemptible TC owns more than one TXQ under SP scheduling) is silently
swallowed by every caller.

Switch the dispatch macro to stmmac_do_callback() so the callback's real
result is propagated, and honour it in the taprio and mqprio qdisc
offload.

Note that the taprio "if (ret)" check in tc_taprio_configure() used to
be dead code and now becomes live: a preemptible TC spanning more than
one TXQ under SP scheduling cannot be programmed in hardware, so a
taprio or mqprio configuration that previously returned success while
leaving the preemption-class register unprogrammed now fails with
-EINVAL. For taprio, the failure also runs the disable path, tearing
down the schedule that was just installed; this is the intended
behaviour.

Fixes: 195e4f409a40 ("net: stmmac: support fp parameter of tc-mqprio")
