Linux kernel source tree
05d6f442f3
A bug occurs because a safety check guarding AF_XDP-related queues in
ethnl_set_channels(), does not trigger. This happens, because kernel and
ice driver interpret the ethtool command differently.
How the bug occurs:
1. ethtool -l <IFNAME> -> combined: 40
2. Attach AF_XDP to queue 30
3. ethtool -L <IFNAME> rx 15 tx 15
combined number is not specified, so command becomes {rx_count = 15,
tx_count = 15, combined_count = 40}.
4. ethnl_set_channels checks, if there are any AF_XDP of queues from the
new (combined_count + rx_count) to the old one, so from 55 to 40, check
does not trigger.
5. ice interprets `rx 15 tx 15` as 15 combined channels and deletes the
queue that AF_XDP is attached to.
Interpret the command in a way that is more consistent with ethtool
manual [0] (--show-channels and --set-channels).
Considering that in the ice driver only the difference between RX and TX
queues forms dedicated channels, change the correct way to set number of
channels to:
ethtool -L <IFNAME> combined 10 /* For symmetric queues */
ethtool -L <IFNAME> combined 8 tx 2 rx 0 /* For asymmetric queues */

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
