Jakub Kicinski f80c28a585 net: fix race on decreasing number of TX queues 
[ Upstream commit ac5b70198a ]

netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() can be called when netdev is up.
That usually happens when user requests change of number of
channels/rings with ethtool -L.  The procedure for changing
the number of queues involves resetting the qdiscs and setting
dev->num_tx_queues to the new value.  When the new value is
lower than the old one, extra care has to be taken to ensure
ordering of accesses to the number of queues vs qdisc reset.

Currently the queues are reset before new dev->num_tx_queues
is assigned, leaving a window of time where packets can be
enqueued onto the queues going down, leading to a likely
crash in the drivers, since most drivers don't check if TX
skbs are assigned to an active queue.

Fixes: e6484930d7 ("net: allocate tx queues in register_netdevice")

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
