Merge branch 'intel-interpret-set_channels-input-differently'
Jacob Keller says: ==================== intel: Interpret .set_channels() input differently The ice and idpf drivers can trigger a crash with AF_XDP due to incorrect interpretation of the asymmetric Tx and Rx parameters in their .set_channels() implementations: 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. the driver interprets `rx 15 tx 15` as 15 combined channels and deletes the queue that AF_XDP is attached to. This is fundamentally a problem with interpreting a request for asymmetric queues as symmetric combined queues. Fix the ice and idpf drivers to stop interpreting such requests as a request for combined queues. Due to current driver design for both ice and idpf, it is not possible to support requests of the same count of Tx and Rx queues with independent interrupts, (i.e. ethtool -L <IFNAME> rx 15 tx 15) so such requests are now rejected.
