This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net-sysfs: update the queue counts in the unregistration path to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-sysfs-update-the-queue-counts-in-the-unregistrat.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8b074a9b03605382f966ad41350d9933f433a40a Author: Antoine Tenart <atenart@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 7 15:57:24 2021 +0100 net-sysfs: update the queue counts in the unregistration path [ Upstream commit d7dac083414eb5bb99a6d2ed53dc2c1b405224e5 ] When updating Rx and Tx queue kobjects, the queue count should always be updated to match the queue kobjects count. This was not done in the net device unregistration path, fix it. Tracking all queue count updates will allow in a following up patch to detect illegal updates.
