It is hard to say who is the normal case. In case of CPU hotplug, it is quite easy to trigger updating nr_hw_queues. > > As for updating nr_hw_queues, we could try some other method on it next. The thing is that draining queue may be inevitable inside reset work function because of updating nr_hw_queues, that means the approach in this patchset is just a partial solution Or it may not make sense to do that because we may never remove the draining queue in the code path of updating nr_hw_queues. Given they belong to same issue, I suggest to solve them all. Thanks, Ming
