Subject: [PATCH] i40e: add validation for ring_len param
The `ring_len` parameter provided by the virtual function (VF)
is assigned directly to the hardware memory context (HMC) without
any validation.
To address this, introduce an upper boundary check for both Tx and Rx
queue lengths. The maximum number of descriptors supported by the
hardware is 8k-32.
Additionally, enforce alignment constraints: Tx rings must be a multiple
of 8, and Rx rings must be a multiple of 32.

Subject: [PATCH] sched_ext: idle: Handle migration-disabled tasks in BPF code
When scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl()/and() kfuncs are invoked outside of
ops.select_cpu() we can't rely on @p->migration_disabled to determine if
migration is disabled for the task @p.
In fact, migration is always disabled for the current task while running
BPF code: __bpf_prog_enter() disables migration and __bpf_prog_exit()
re-enables it.
To handle this, when @p->migration_disabled == 1, check whether @p is
the current task. If so, migration was not disabled before entering the
callback, otherwise migration was disabled.
This ensures correct idle CPU selection in all cases. The behavior of
ops.select_cpu() remains unchanged, because this callback is never
invoked for the current task and migration-disabled tasks are always
excluded.
Example: without this change scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() called from
ops.enqueue() always returns -EBUSY; with this change applied, it
correctly returns idle CPUs.
