Report MQ-aware channel limits and counts from get_channels(): - max_rx is IBMVETH_MAX_RX_QUEUES when MQ firmware is enabled, else 1 - rx_count tracks the driver's published num_rx_queues Previously get_channels() mirrored netdev->real_num_rx_queues for both fields, which under-reports max_rx on MQ firmware and can disagree with the driver's private RX count before the next open. This patch only reports. set_channels() still only adjusts tx_count, so an RX channel request returns -EOPNOTSUPP if rx_count changes, while read-modify-write TX requests pass through with the live rx_count. Patch 14 implements live RX resizing via ibmveth_resize_rx_channels(), and patch 15 completes the down-path publish/rollback and caps max_rx once mq_fallback latches. Keep this out of the stats patch: channel reporting is ethtool -l ABI, independent of per-queue counters, so it can be reviewed and blamed on its own. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <redacted> Reviewed-by: Dave Marquardt <redacted> Tested-by: Shaik Abdulla <redacted> --- Changes in v7: - reject rx_count change with -EOPNOTSUPP in set_channels() until patch 14 implements resize - noted: TX-only read-modify-write still passes; max_rx stays here (reject, not reorder); get_channels uses the adapter count, get_base_stats uses real_num; RX max is MAX_RX_QUEUES, not the TX CPU cap; P14 wires live rx_count resize; P15 is the tip ABI (live rx_count, max_rx cap on mq_fallback, max_tx at least the live tx_count) Changes in v5: - get_channels rx_count via get_num_rx_queues() (READ_ONCE consistency) - New peel: get_channels from v4 stats -> tip P12 (14->15) - get_channels: max_rx = MAX_RX_QUEUES when MQ else 1; rx_count = get_num_rx_queues() (was mirroring real_num_rx_queues for both) drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ibmveth.c | 17 +++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
