--- Patch [1]: [PATCH net-next v2 01/13] net: mana: add queue-set allocation and teardown helpers ---
commit fcc6a74602d4e66dc287809434c5e9b44c3be829
Author: Long Li <longli@microsoft.com>
Subject: net: mana: add queue-set allocation and teardown helpers

The ethtool reconfiguration paths (channel count, ring size, private
flags), mana_change_mtu() and mana_xdp_set() rebuild the queues with
mana_detach() then mana_attach(). This adds the data model and helpers for
pre-allocate and swap to independently build and tear down a queue set.

[Severity: Medium]
Will this unconditionally reset the RSS indirection table to defaults during
reconfigurations?

Since mana_rss_table_alloc() creates a new table and mana_rss_table_init()
initializes it to default round-robin values, it seems like a user's existing
custom RSS steering configuration might be silently overwritten when the new
queue set is published.

Could this cause a regression where the custom configuration is lost? Should
it be preserved by copying the existing table from the active port context
instead?
