| Subject: xen-netfront: respect user provided max_queues |
| |
| From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com> |
| |
| [ Upstream commit 32a844056fd43dda647e1c3c6b9983bdfa04d17d ] |
| |
| 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. |
