2026-09-30net: Revalidate queue config for ringparam changesBjörn Töpel
Memory-provider queue configuration is validated when the provider is bound. A later ethtool ring change may invalidate it because drivers can size queue memory from both ring depth and RX page size. The fbnic consumer is added in the following patch. Keep configured RX ring depths in netdev_config and stage proposed values in cfg_pending. Validate every RX queue before calling the driver. Each check validates the device defaults, then any queue memory-provider override. Commit the values only after the driver accepts them. Drivers which consume stored ring depths through queue configuration must initialize every RX depth before registering the netdev. Stored values override callback defaults, including when zero. The callback receives a rendered configuration rather than a queue ID. Validation should depend on the configuration, not queue identity. Checking defaults also covers the case where every queue has a memory-provider override. Drivers may normalize ring depths when applying them. Require the validation callback to use the same normalization. Drivers must report the applied depths through the ethtool_ringparam argument so the core records the result. Use the same transaction for ioctl and netlink. Drivers without ndo_validate_qcfg skip the new validation.

2026-09-30net: Add netdev_config helpersJakub Kicinski
netdev_config manipulation will become slightly more complicated soon and will be used by both ethtool and the queue API. Encapsulate the logic in helper functions.

2026-01-23net: add queue config validation callbackJakub Kicinski
I imagine (tm) that as the number of per-queue configuration options grows some of them may conflict for certain drivers. While the drivers can obviously do all the validation locally doing so is fairly inconvenient as the config is fed to drivers piecemeal via different ops (for different params and NIC-wide vs per-queue). Add a centralized callback for validating the queue config in queue ops. The callback gets invoked before memory provider is installed, and in the future should also be called when ring params are modified. The validation is done after each layer of configuration. Since we can't fail MP un-binding we must make sure that the config is valid both before and after MP overrides are applied. This is moot for now since the set of MP and device configs are disjoint. It will matter significantly in the future, so adding it now so that we don't forget..

2026-01-23net: use netdev_queue_config() for mp restartJakub Kicinski
We should follow the prepare/commit approach for queue configuration. The qcfg struct should be added to dev->cfg rather than directly to queue objects so that we can clone and discard the pending config easily. Remove the qcfg in struct netdev_rx_queue, and switch remaining callers to netdev_queue_config(). netdev_queue_config() will construct the qcfg on the fly based on device defaults and state of the queue. ndo_default_qcfg becomes optional because having the callback itself does not have any meaningful semantics to us.

2026-01-23net: introduce a trivial netdev_queue_config()Jakub Kicinski
We may choose to extend or reimplement the logic which renders the per-queue config. The drivers should not poke directly into the queue state. Add a helper for drivers to use when they want to query the config for a specific queue.
