From 4581c3d2adc3c73a019bc38db64ca11f28bbd7fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ralf Lici Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 14:27:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5e: advertise MACsec offload only when supported Commit 339ccec8d43d ("net/mlx5: Enable MACsec offload feature for VLAN interface") added NETIF_F_HW_MACSEC unconditionally to vlan_features so that VLAN devices could inherit MACsec offload support. mlx5e_build_nic_netdev subsequently copies vlan_features into hw_features and features. As a result, all mlx5e NIC netdevices advertise MACsec hardware offload, even when the firmware does not support it and the driver does not install macsec_ops. Set the MACsec feature bits in mlx5e_macsec_build_netdev, after device capabilities have been validated. This preserves MACsec-over-VLAN support and the ethtool feature control on capable devices, without advertising either on unsupported hardware.
