This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled IB/IPoIB: Fix queue count inconsistency for PKEY child interfaces to the 4.14-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: ib-ipoib-fix-queue-count-inconsistency-for-pkey-chil.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit dfca337be0f33cdd7785b7b8974efe5ed4fb9704 Author: Dragos Tatulea <dtatulea@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 8 09:52:54 2022 +0200 IB/IPoIB: Fix queue count inconsistency for PKEY child interfaces [ Upstream commit dbc94a0fb81771a38733c0e8f2ea8c4fa6934dc1 ] There are 2 ways to create IPoIB PKEY child interfaces: 1) Writing a PKEY to /sys/class/net/<ib parent interface>/create_child. 2) Using netlink with iproute. While with sysfs the child interface has the same number of tx and rx queues as the parent, with netlink there will always be 1 tx and 1 rx queue for the child interface. That's because the get_num_tx/rx_queues() netlink ops are missing and the default value of 1 is taken for the number of queues (in rtnl_create_link()). This change adds the get_num_tx/rx_queues() ops which allows for interfaces with multiple queues to be created over netlink. This constant only represents the max number of tx and rx queues on that net device.
