PKEY sub interfaces share the receive queues with the parent interface.
While setting the sub interface queue count is not supported, it is
currently possible to change the number of queues of the parent interface.
Thus we can end up with inconsistent queue sizes between the parent and its
sub interfaces.
This change disallows setting the queue count on the parent interface when
sub interfaces are present.
This is achieved by introducing an explicit reference to the parent netdev
in the mlx5i_priv of the child interface. An additional counter is also
required on the parent side to detect when sub interfaces are attached and
for proper cleanup.
The rtnl lock is taken during the ethtool op and the sub interface
ndo_init/uninit ops. There is no race here around counting the sub
interfaces, reading the sub interfaces and setting the number of
channels. The ASSERT_RTNL was added to document that.

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.
