Subject: i40e: Fix incorrect netdev's real number of RX/TX queues
From: Jedrzej Jagielski <jedrzej.jagielski@xxxxxxxxx>
commit e738451d78b2f8a9635d66c6a87f304b4d965f7a upstream.
There was a wrong queues representation in sysfs during
driver's reinitialization in case of online cpus number is
less than combined queues. It was caused by stopped
NetworkManager, which is responsible for calling vsi_open
function during driver's initialization.
In specific situation (ex. 12 cpus online) there were 16 queues
in /sys/class/net/<iface>/queues. In case of modifying queues with
value higher, than number of online cpus, then it caused write
errors and other errors.
Add updating of sysfs's queues representation during driver
initialization.
