rx / tx queues are now exposed in middleware. Auto-detection will move into RC1.

The blacklist item won't be removed. Best case is to improve auto-detection for cards with RSS.

I have the same problem as - this 'autodetection' of Samba doesn't work on all network interfaces. Mentioned in detail here: Since the Blacklist of `interfaces` global parameter in SMB config i can't use the RSS capability of my network cards - iX - Bug Tracker (Jira) (ixsystems.com)

Samba requires the RSS capability to be added onto an "interface" directive in order to use RSS. I was able to set that directive and successfully enable RSS on SMB on SCALE 22.02-RC.1, but as of RC.2 I am unable to make any edits to my SMB configuration as it now contains the blacklisted "interface" directive.
This appears to be only available method to enable RSS on Samba currently. Even the IP must be specified for it to work, not even an interface name works. Despite that, until there is a better method users should at least have access to the feature.
