Bug Description
SRU Justification
[Impact]
* Microsoft requested patch to improve RX buffer handling in MANA driver (LP: #2121570), however the page_pool implementation in mainline 5.15 has an additional parameter in a check in page_pool_
[Fix]
* Jammy: revert of the following patches:
- 827c33e: "net: mana: Improve mana_set_channels() in low mem conditions" upstream
- 5b59c72: "net: mana: Use page pool fragments for RX buffers instead of full pages to improve memory efficiency." from linux-next
[Test Plan]
* Compile tested
* Microsoft to test
[Regression potential]
* Changes are localized to MANA and are clean reverts, so low likelihood of regression. Possible regressions could result in unexpected behavior of MANA driver.
[Other info]
* SF#00422364
