4.2.8-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Joe Jin <joe.jin@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ca88ea1247dfee094e2467a3578eaec9bdf0833a upstream.
Sometimes xennet_create_queues() may failed to created all requested
queues, we need to update num_queues to real created to avoid NULL
pointer dereference.
