netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() and netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() can fail which breaks drivers trying to implement reconfiguration in a way that can't leave the device half-broken. In other words those functions are incompatible with prepare/commit approach. Luckily setting real number of queues can fail only if the number is increased, meaning that if we order operations correctly we can guarantee ending up with either new config (success), or the old one (on error). Provide a helper implementing such logic so that drivers don't have to duplicate it. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
