Implement netdev_queue_mgmt_ops for bnxt added in [1]. Two bnxt_rx_ring_info structs are allocated to hold the new/old queue memory. Queue memory is copied from/to the main bp->rx_ring[idx] bnxt_rx_ring_info. Queue memory is pre-allocated in bnxt_queue_mem_alloc() into a clone, and then copied into bp->rx_ring[idx] in bnxt_queue_mem_start(). Similarly, when bp->rx_ring[idx] is stopped its queue memory is copied into a clone, and then freed later in bnxt_queue_mem_free(). I tested this patchset with netdev_rx_queue_restart(), including inducing errors in all places that returns an error code. In all cases, the queue is left in a good working state. Rx queues are created/destroyed using bnxt_hwrm_rx_ring_alloc() and bnxt_hwrm_rx_ring_free(), which issue HWRM_RING_ALLOC and HWRM_RING_FREE commands respectively to the firmware. By the time a HWRM_RING_FREE response is received, there won't be any more completions from that queue. Thanks to Somnath for helping me with this patch. With their permission I've added them as Acked-by.

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.
