When the number of TX rings is changed (e.g. ethtool -L, enabling XDP TX rings, etc), the current code tries to reserve the new number of TX rings before closing and re-opening the NIC. If we are unable to reserve the new TX rings, we abort the operation and keep the current TX rings. The problem is that the firmware will disable the current TX rings even when it cannot reserve the new set of TX rings. We fix it as follows: 1. Instead of reserving the new set of TX rings, just ask the firmware to check if the new set of TX rings is available. There is a flag in the firmware message to do that. If not available, abort and the current TX rings will not be disabled. 2. Do the actual TX ring reservation in the path that opens the NIC. We keep the number of TX rings currently successfully reserved. If the number of TX rings is different than the reserved TX rings, we call firmware and reserve again.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
