From b712941c8085e638bb92456e866ed3de4404e3d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karen Sornek karen.sornek@intel.com Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2021 09:21:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iavf: Fix limit of total number of queues to active queues of VF
In the absence of this validation, if the user requests to configure queues more than the enabled queues, it results in sending the requested number of queues to the kernel stack (due to the asynchronous nature of VF response), in which case the stack might pick a queue to transmit that is not enabled and result in Tx hang. Fix this bug by limiting the total number of queues allocated for VF to active queues of VF.
