[PATCH net-next v4 12/13] net: mana: keep the surviving queues when the channel count is reduced

From: Long Li

Date: Mon Sep 07 2026 - 23:34:44 EST


Split the live set into a kept prefix and a retiring tail. Reductions
allocate only pointer arrays and steering tables, retaining the kept
queues' page pools, buffers, NAPI state and XDP references.

After publication, wait for TX-selection readers before freeing the old
containers, then retire only the tail. Failed publication discards the
new containers without freeing shared queues.

Signed-off-by: Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v4:
- Wait for TX-selection readers before freeing old containers.
- Correct the allocation and shared-queue ownership descriptions;
shorten comments and the commit message.
