[PATCH net v2 3/3] bnxt_en: Restore default stat ctxs for ULP when resource is available

From: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com>
Date: 2026-03-31 06:52:13
Subsystem: broadcom bnxt_en 50 gigabit ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Michael Chan, Pavan Chebbi, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Pavan Chebbi <pavan.chebbi@broadcom.com>

During resource reservation, if the L2 driver does not have enough
MSIX vectors to provide to the RoCE driver, it sets the stat ctxs for
ULP also to 0 so that we don't have to reserve it unnecessarily.

However, subsequently the user may reduce L2 rings thereby freeing up
some resources that the L2 driver can now earmark for RoCE. In this
case, the driver should restore the default ULP stat ctxs to make
sure that all RoCE resources are ready for use.

The RoCE driver may fail to initialize in this scenario without this
fix.

Fixes: d630624ebd70 ("bnxt_en: Utilize ulp client resources if RoCE is not registered")
