If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Wei Liu [ Upstream commit 4c82ac3c37363e8c4ded6a5fe1ec5fa756b34df3 ] Originally that parameter was always reset to num_online_cpus during module initialisation, which renders it useless. The fix is to only set max_queues to num_online_cpus when user has not provided a value.
