Title:
  Ubuntu 22.04 raise abnormal NIC MSI-X requests with larger CPU cores
  (256)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Jammy:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Kinetic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  System Configuration
      OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
      Kernel: 5.15.0-25-generic
      CPUs: 256
      NIC: Intel E810 NIC with 512 MSIx vectors each function

  
  Errors
      Not enough device MSI-X vectors, requested = 260, available = 253

  
  Findings
      (1) the current ice kernel driver (ice_main.c) will pre-allocate all 
required number of msix (even it's not enough for big core CPUs)
      (2) the commit 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ce4626131112e1d0066a890371e14d8091323f99
 has improved this logic, and it seems merged into kernel version from v6.1

  
  So for supporting the new CPUs with more than 252 vCPUs, will Ubuntu kernel 
backport above patch to the current kernel (v5.15) ?
