>A bug occurs because a safety check guarding AF_XDP-related queues in
>ethnl_set_channels(), does not trigger. This happens, because kernel and ice
>driver interpret the ethtool command differently.
>
>How the bug occurs:
>1. ethtool -l <IFNAME> -> combined: 40
>2. Attach AF_XDP to queue 30
>3. ethtool -L <IFNAME> rx 15 tx 15
> combined number is not specified, so command becomes {rx_count = 15,
> tx_count = 15, combined_count = 40}.
>4. ethnl_set_channels checks, if there are any AF_XDP of queues from the
> new (combined_count + rx_count) to the old one, so from 55 to 40, check
> does not trigger.
>5. ice interprets `rx 15 tx 15` as 15 combined channels and deletes the
> queue that AF_XDP is attached to.
>
>Interpret the command in a way that is more consistent with ethtool manual
>[0] (--show-channels and --set-channels).
>
>Considering that in the ice driver only the difference between RX and TX queues
>forms dedicated channels, change the correct way to set number of channels
>to:
>
>ethtool -L <IFNAME> combined 10 /* For symmetric queues */ ethtool -L
><IFNAME> combined 8 tx 2 rx 0 /* For asymmetric queues */
>
