This is an AI-generated review of your patch. The human sending this email has considered the AI review valid, or at least plausible. For local reproduction steps see https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/ai-local.html --- net: fec: add AF_XDP zero-copy support This patch adds AF_XDP zero-copy support for both TX and RX on the FEC driver, enabling higher performance packet processing through XSK pools.

^^^^^^^^^^ If xsk_pool_dma_map() fails here when the device was running (is_run == true), the function returns without restoring the device state. At this point NAPI is disabled, TX queues are disabled, and all buffers have been freed. Should the error path restore the device to a working state similar to the err_alloc_buffers path below? The err_alloc_buffers label handles the cleanup for xsk_pool state but it looks like that error path would also need to call fec_enet_alloc_buffers(), fec_restart(), napi_enable(), and netif_tx_start_all_queues() to restore the device when is_run was true.
