    net/mlx5e: Fix wrong features assignment in case of error · 992d8a4e
    Gal Pressman authored
    In case of an error in mlx5e_set_features(), 'netdev->features' must be
    updated with the correct state of the device to indicate which features
    were updated successfully.
    To do that we maintain a copy of 'netdev->features' and update it after
    successful feature changes, so we can assign it to back to
    'netdev->features' if needed.
    
    However, since not all netdev features are handled by the driver (e.g.
    GRO/TSO/etc), some features may not be updated correctly in case of an
    error updating another feature.
    
    For example, while requesting to disable TSO (feature which is not
    handled by the driver) and enable HW-GRO, if an error occurs during
    HW-GRO enable, 'oper_features' will be assigned with 'netdev->features'
    and HW-GRO turned off. TSO will remain enabled in such case, which is a
    bug.
    
    To solve that, instead of using 'netdev->features' as the baseline of
    'oper_features' and changing it on set feature success, use 'features'
    instead and update it in case of errors.
