Subject: [PATCH net-next] tuntap: attach queue 0 before registering netdevice
Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 11:19:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1354504785-13036-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
We attach queue 0 after registering netdevice currently. This leads to call
netif_set_real_num_{tx|rx}_queues() after registering the netdevice. Since we
allow tun/tap has a maximum of 1024 queues, this may lead a huge number of
uevents to be injected to userspace since we create 2048 kobjects and then
remove 2046. Solve this problem by attaching queue 0 and set the real number of
queues before registering netdevice.
