But I'm not sure if all other users are protected. mana_get_stats64() seems not. @Shradha Gupta You can add num_queues as an argument of mana_pre_alloc_rxbufs() to avoid changing apc->num_queues.

Instead of changing the apc structure value, I will pass it to the mana_pre_alloc_rxbufs() function in the next version. That should make sure other calls are unaffected. Thanks, Shradha.

The mana_set_channels() function requires detaching the mana driver and reattaching it with changed channel values. During this operation if the system is low on memory, the reattach might fail, causing the network device being down. To avoid this we pre-allocate buffers at the beginning of set operation, to prevent complete network loss Signed-off-by: Shradha Gupta <shradhagupta@linux.microsoft.com> --- .../ethernet/microsoft/mana/mana_ethtool.c | 28 +++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)
