** Description changed:

  SRU Justification
  
  [Impact]
  
- * Microsoft requested additional Mana patches for 5.15
+ * Microsoft requested additional MANA patches for 5.15 to bring
+ important fixes from 6.8 and newer.
  
  [Fix]
  
+ * 11 clean cherry-picks from upstream
+ * 4 backports from upstream
  
  [Test Plan]
  
+ * Compile tested
+ * Boot tested on Standard_A2_v2 instance
+ * Microsoft to test further
  
  [Regression potential]
  
+ * Several of the backports took a bit of effort. For example, 5.15 doesn't 
have 7462494408cd: "ethtool: extend ringparam setting/getting API with 
rx_buf_len" so the mana_ethtool changes requires function parameter 
modifications to match 5.15. Additional, 5.15 doesn't have 504148fedb85: "net: 
add skb_[inner_]tcp_all_headers helpers", so previous arithmetic had to be 
re-implemented. There were a couple of other places where previous functions 
were maintained rather than bringing in unknown context from the commit.
+ * Most changes were to MANA related source code, so leaning heavily on 
Microsoft to test there, but it is localized. MANA changes could lead to 
network instability.
+ * Other changes to scsi and hyperv were small and clean cherry-picks from 
upstream, so expect little regression risk there.
