The commit under the Fixes tag below which updates the VNICs' RSS
and MRU during .ndo_queue_start(), needs to be extended to cover any
non-default RSS contexts which have their own VNICs. Without this
step, packets that are destined to a non-default RSS context may be
dropped after .ndo_queue_start().
We further optimize this scheme by updating the VNIC only if the
RX ring being restarted is in the RSS table of the VNIC. Updating
the VNIC (in particular setting the MRU to 0) will momentarily stop
all traffic to all rings in the RSS table. Any VNIC that has the
RX ring excluded from the RSS table can skip this step and avoid the
traffic disruption.
Note that this scheme is just an improvement. A VNIC with multiple
rings in the RSS table will still see traffic disruptions to all rings
in the RSS table when one of the rings is being restarted. We are
working on a FW scheme that will improve upon this further.

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.
