From 8e6d91ae0917bf934ed86411148f79d904728d51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wang Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 18:32:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tuntap: forbid changing mq flag for persistent device We currently allow changing the mq flag (IFF_MULTI_QUEUE) for a persistent device. This will result a mismatch between the number the queues in netdev and tuntap. This is because we only allocate a 1q netdevice when IFF_MULTI_QUEUE was not specified, so when we set the IFF_MULTI_QUEUE and try to attach more queues later, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() may fail which result a single queue netdevice with multiple sockets attached. Solve this by disallowing changing the mq flag for persistent device. Bug was introduced by commit edfb6a148ce62e5e19354a1dcd9a34e00815c2a1 (tuntap: reduce memory using of queues).
