Thanks for explaining the rationale. Please proceed with your version.
I’m not planning to send an additional stable backport on my end.
If feasible, please mention in the commit message that the backport
clamps to `VIRTIO_NET_RSS_MAX_KEY_SIZE` since the buffer
expansion to `NETDEV_RSS_KEY_LEN` is not present in this stable tree.
