The igc driver supports several different offloading capabilities
relevant in the TSN context. Recent patches in this area introduced
regressions for certain corner cases that are fixed in this series.

Each of the patches (except the first one) addresses a different
regression that can be separately reproduced. Still, they have
overlapping code changes so they should not be separately applied.

Especially #4 and #6 address the same observation,
but both need to be applied to avoid TX hang occurrences in
the scenario described in the patches.

Dear Florian,

Thanks for the patch series 😊

All six patches, as far as I can see here, have the Fixes tag. Should they go to Net instead of Net-Next?

You are correct, these are all fixes and could go to net.
However, in its current form they will not fully apply to net 
(e.g. due to the commit 2d800bc500fb ("net/sched: taprio: replace tc_taprio_qopt_offload :: enable with a "cmd" enum")
that has overlapping code changes) and are also not tested with net. 
If you prefer to have them in net already I could send a second series.
For me personally all options (net, net-next or iwl-next) would be fine.

Thanks,
Florian

Yeah I would prefer "net" so that it can be available in current development kernel.
"Net-next" will take sometimes to go in....
Looks like only patch no 2 "igc: Do not enable taprio offload for invalid arguments"
will have conflict due to the new "cmd" command introduced by vlamidir. 
But I think should be minor changes.

Thanks
