With the new infrastructure in place, we can now support the setting of
the indirection table from ethtool.
When changing channels, in a rare case that firmware cannot reserve the
rings that were promised, we will still try to keep the RSS map and only
revert to default when absolutely necessary.
v4: Revert RSS map to default during ring change only when absolutely
necessary.
v3: Add warning messages when firmware cannot reserve the requested RX
rings, and when the RSS table entries have to change to default.
v2: When changing channels, if the RSS table size changes and RSS map
is non-default, return error.

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 Restructured Text 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.
