Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] ionic: reject Tx ring sizes below the minimum
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 00:23:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261107-b4-ionic-tso-max-segs-v1-1-67c248a5b681@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107-b4-ionic-tso-max-segs-v1-0-67c248a5b681@amd.com>

ionic_tx_cq_service() wakes a stopped Tx queue only once
IONIC_TSO_DESCS_NEEDED (44) descriptors are free. The threshold is
sized for a 64 KB TSO skb at a 1500 byte MSS and assumes the ring can
have that many free; a Tx ring of 32 or fewer descriptors cannot, so a
stopped queue is never woken and the netdev watchdog fires.
ionic_set_ringparam() only checks that the size is a power of 2, and
the ethtool core only checks the maximum, so such sizes are accepted.

Reject Tx ring sizes below IONIC_MIN_TXRX_DESC.

Fixes: 061b9bedbef1 ("ionic: Rework Tx start/stop flow")
