Subject: [PATCH net] virtio_net: sync rss_trailer.max_tx_vq on queue_pairs change via VQ_PAIRS_SET
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:21:21 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416212121.29073-1-brett.creeley@amd.com> (raw)

When netif_is_rxfh_configured() is true (i.e., the user has explicitly
configured the RSS indirection table), virtnet_set_queues() skips the
RSS update path and falls through to the VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET
command to change the number of queue pairs. However, it does not update
vi->rss_trailer.max_tx_vq to reflect the new queue_pairs value.

This causes a mismatch between vi->curr_queue_pairs and
vi->rss_trailer.max_tx_vq. Any subsequent RSS reconfiguration (e.g.,
via ethtool -X) calls virtnet_commit_rss_command(), which sends the
stale max_tx_vq to the device, silently reverting the queue count.

Reproduction:
1. User configured RSS
  ethtool -X eth0 equal 8
2. VQ_PAIRS_SET path; max_tx_vq stays 16
  ethtool -L eth0 combined 12
3. RSS commit uses max_tx_vq=16 instead of 12
  ethtool -X eth0 equal 4

Fix this by updating vi->rss_trailer.max_tx_vq after a successful
VQ_PAIRS_SET command when RSS is enabled, keeping it in sync with
curr_queue_pairs.
