[PATCH net-next v4 11/13] net: mana: keep a user-configured RSS table across a queue rebuild

From: Long Li

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 23:34:31 EST


Preserve a user RSS table whenever all entries fit the requested queue
count. Regenerate driver defaults. On growth, a retained user table does
not steer RSS traffic to the added queues until the user updates it.

Report table loss only after successful queue-set publication. The
non-swap allocation path still replaces invalid tables silently because
its callers do not consistently hold the notification's netdev lock.

Require RTNL for RSS setters to serialize them with reset/resume rebuilds.

Changes in v4:
- Require RTNL for RSS setters to serialize against reset/resume.
- Drop loss notification from mana_alloc_queues(), where the netdev
instance lock is not held by every caller.
- Describe preservation by entry bounds, including channel growth;
shorten comments.

Merge note:
This overlaps the net submission:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260905004401.3937066-1-longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Keep this patch's three-argument mana_rss_table_keep() and its callers
when resolving the overlapping mana_en.c blocks. The explicit queue
count is needed to validate an unpublished set; the loss flag defers
swap-path notification. ETHTOOL_OP_NEEDS_RTNL_RSS is identical in both
trees. This series does not depend on the net fix landing first.
