Subject: [PATCH net] net: mana: do not discard an ethtool-configured RSS table on a queue rebuild
Date: Fri,  4 Sep 2026 17:44:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905004401.3937066-1-longli@microsoft.com> (raw)

mana_alloc_queues() regenerates the RSS indirection table from the driver
default every time the queues are built, so a table installed with
"ethtool -X" is silently replaced by any operation that rebuilds them:
an MTU change, a ring-size, channel-count or private-flag change, an XDP
attach, TX-timeout reset recovery, or resume.

The driver never clears the core's IFF_RXFH_CONFIGURED, so
netif_is_rxfh_configured() keeps reporting a user table while the
hardware has been reprogrammed with the default one. "ethtool -x" then
shows a table the user did not ask for, with no indication it changed:

  # ethtool -X ens1 equal 2
  # ethtool -x ens1
  RX flow hash indirection table for ens1 with 16 RX ring(s):
      0:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
      8:      0     1     0     1     0     1     0     1
  # ip link set ens1 mtu 1400
  # ethtool -x ens1
  RX flow hash indirection table for ens1 with 16 RX ring(s):
      0:      0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
      8:      8     9    10    11    12    13    14    15

Keep the table instead, and rebuild it only when it is driver-generated
or cannot be honoured. An entry may not be kept if it points past the
last queue: mana_config_rss() uses these entries to index apc->rxqs[],
which holds apc->num_queues pointers. That is reachable because
mana_attach() calls mana_init_port(), which lowers apc->num_queues to the
maximum the device reports, so a table configured for more queues can
outlive them.

A table that cannot be kept is still replaced by the default silently,
without ethtool_rxfh_indir_lost(). That helper sends
ETHTOOL_MSG_RSS_NTF, which requires the netdev instance lock, and
mana_alloc_queues() runs both with that lock held, from ndo_open, and
without it, from mana_attach() on the reset and resume paths. Leaving
the core's view untouched is what the driver did for every table before
this change.

Opt the RSS ethtool operations into rtnl_lock() while here. Reading the
table in mana_alloc_queues() has to be serialized against mana_set_rxfh()
replacing it, and the two had no lock in common: mana_set_rxfh() ran under
the netdev instance lock alone, while mana_alloc_queues() reaches this
point holding only RTNL, from ndo_open and from mana_attach() on the reset
and resume paths. Taking the instance lock there instead is not possible,
since ndo_open already runs with it held. The same flag covers the netlink
and ioctl entry points.
