ethtool_ops.set_ringparam() is implemented using the primitive close / update ring size / reopen sequence. Under memory pressure this does not fly: we free our buffers at close and cannot reallocate new ones at open. Also, it triggers a slow PHY reinit. Instead, exploit the new context mechanism and improve our sequence to: - allocate a new context (including buffers) first - if it fails, early return without any impact to the interface - stop interface - update global state (bp, netdev, etc) - pass buffer pointers to the hardware - start interface - free old context. The HW disable sequence is inspired by macb_reset_hw() but avoids (1) setting NCR bit CLRSTAT and (2) clearing register PBUFRXCUT. The HW re-enable sequence is inspired by macb_mac_link_up(), skipping over register writes which would be redundant (because values have not changed). The generic context swapping parts are isolated into helper functions macb_context_swap_start|end(), reusable by other operations (change_mtu, set_channels, etc). Introduce a new locking primitive (mac_cfg_lock mutex) to serialise swap with phylink MAC callbacks. Avoid stopping phylink to avoid a slow PHY retrain. Those callbacks grab phydev->lock if it exists so we could imagine grabbing that from the swap op, but phydev->lock doesn't exist in the SFP case. AT91 EMAC is handled differently as their buffer management is separate and they don't do NAPI. We refuse them (-EBUSY) to avoid implementing context swapping for them.
