patch 'net/gve: preserve ring size bounds on reset' has been queued to stable release 25.11.3

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/04/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/9d99c728e833d73a51a1396868dfc99b5944cfca

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/gve: preserve ring size bounds on reset

[ upstream commit 7b12f14d75ea8f6d53a64c5ccafcf7dd6d4e562c ]

On device reset, GVE skips describe_device functionality, as the device
is not expected to change on a reset. However, before skipping the
describe_device functionality, GVE still sets the ring sizes to their
default values. This effectively removes the ability to create queues
with higher-than-default descriptor counts after a reset.

Fix this behavior by only setting the default ring size bounds is
describe_device is being executed.

Fixes: 1bf64edce3c4 ("net/gve: add reset path")
