After MTU changed, the buffer used to store packets in HW should be reallocated. And buffer size is allocated based on the maximum frame size in the PF struct. However, the value of maximum frame size is not updated in time when MTU is changed. This would lead to a packet loss for not enough buffer.
This patch update the maximum frame size before reallocating the HW buffer. And a rollback operation is added to avoid the side effects of buffer reallocation failures.

Isn't the patch title should say 'before', like: net/hns3: fix maximum frame size update _before_ buffer alloc
Or perhaps I get the patch wrong... .
The expression here may vary from different perspectives. From a hardware standpoint, the problem is that the maximum frame size update buffer allocation. From a software standpoint, the the buffer size that should be allocted depends on the maximum frame size kept in the driver, and the problem is caused by the late value update in the driver.
