## Patch 1/2: net/mana: fix Rx interrupt vector beyond device count
### Errors
None identified.
### Warnings
None identified.
### Info
The fix correctly addresses a real issue where the completion queue (CQ) creation fails when the queue index exceeds the number of available completion vectors. Using modulo to spread queues over available vectors is the standard solution and matches patterns in other DPDK drivers (e.g., mlx5).
The code change is minimal and focused:
```c
- rxq->channel ? i : 0);
+ rxq->channel ?
+ i % priv->ib_ctx->num_comp_vectors : 0);
```
This ensures that queue index `i` is always mapped to a valid completion vector index.

## Patch 2/2: net/mana: fix Rx interrupt enable failing on lock contention
### Errors
None identified.
### Warnings
None identified.
### Info
**Correctness:** The patch correctly identifies that `pthread_mutex_trylock()` in the interrupt enable/disable paths causes unnecessary failures under normal multi-queue operation. The failed enables leave the CQ unarmed (packets arrive but the application sleeps), and the commit message provides concrete evidence of the impact (22.7% packet loss at 200k pps).
**The fix changes `mana_reset_trylock()` to a new `mana_reset_lock()` that blocks:**
```c
+static int
+mana_reset_lock(struct mana_priv *priv)
+{
+ pthread_mutex_lock(&priv->reset_ops_lock);
+
+ if (rte_atomic_load_explicit(&priv->dev_state,
+ rte_memory_order_acquire) != MANA_DEV_ACTIVE) {
+ pthread_mutex_unlock(&priv->reset_ops_lock);
+ return -EBUSY;
+ }
+ return 0;
+}
```
The device state check is performed **after** acquiring the lock, so a caller that arrives during a reset waits for the reset step holding the lock to complete, then sees `dev_state != MANA_DEV_ACTIVE` and returns `-EBUSY`. This preserves the intended reset semantics while eliminating spurious failures between queues.
**Thread safety:** The pattern is correct. The critical section protected by `reset_ops_lock` is short (doorbell write or non-blocking fd read), so blocking is acceptable. The mutex is not process-shared (it's in `struct mana_priv` allocated with `rte_zmalloc_socket()` in `mana_pci_probe()`), so it does not require `PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED` -- the MANA driver does not support secondary processes.
**Alternative mentioned in commit message:** The author notes that guarding with per-queue `burst_state` instead of the device mutex would also work. The current approach is simpler and sufficient given the short hold time.
---
## Summary
Both patches are bug fixes with clear correctness improvements. The changes are minimal, focused, and well-explained in the commit messages. The test results in patch 2/2 demonstrate the fix (0% loss with the patch vs 22.7% at 200k pps without). No style, API, or documentation issues.
