[PATCH net-next v2 11/13] net: mana: keep a user-configured RSS table across a queue rebuild
From: Long Li
Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 01:18:43 EST
A queue rebuild regenerates the RSS indirection table from the driver
default, so a table the user installed with "ethtool -X" is silently
replaced by any reconfiguration that rebuilds the queues.
Carry it over instead when the queue count is unchanged: the entries are
queue indices, so they stay meaningful. A driver-generated table is
still regenerated, and a table that cannot be honoured for the new queue
count is reported to the core as lost - but only once the new set is
actually live, so a failed reconfiguration does not clear
IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED on a port that kept its old queues.
