The failover txq is inited as 16 queues. when a packet is transmitted from the failover device firstly, the failover device will select the queue which is returned from the primary device if the primary device is UP and running. If the primary device txq is bigger than the default 16, it can lead to the following warning: eth0 selects TX queue 18, but real number of TX queues is 16 The warning backtrace is: [ 32.146376] CPU: 18 PID: 9134 Comm: chronyd Tainted: G E 6.2.8-1.el7.centos.x86_64 #1 [ 32.147175] Hardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS 1.10.2-3.el7_4.1 04/01/2014 [ 32.147730] Call Trace: [ 32.147971] <TASK> [ 32.148183] dump_stack_lvl+0x48/0x70 [ 32.148514] dump_stack+0x10/0x20 [ 32.148820] netdev_core_pick_tx+0xb1/0xe0 [ 32.149180] __dev_queue_xmit+0x529/0xcf0 [ 32.149533] ? __check_object_size.part.0+0x21c/0x2c0 [ 32.149967] ip_finish_output2+0x278/0x560 [ 32.150327] __ip_finish_output+0x1fe/0x2f0 [ 32.150690] ip_finish_output+0x2a/0xd0 [ 32.151032] ip_output+0x7a/0x110 [ 32.151337] ? __pfx_ip_finish_output+0x10/0x10 [ 32.151733] ip_local_out+0x5e/0x70 [ 32.152054] ip_send_skb+0x19/0x50 [ 32.152366] udp_send_skb.isra.0+0x163/0x3a0 [ 32.152736] udp_sendmsg+0xba8/0xec0 [ 32.153060] ? __folio_memcg_unlock+0x25/0x60 [ 32.153445] ? __pfx_ip_generic_getfrag+0x10/0x10 [ 32.153854] ? sock_has_perm+0x85/0xa0 [ 32.154190] inet_sendmsg+0x6d/0x80 [ 32.154508] ? inet_sendmsg+0x6d/0x80 [ 32.154838] sock_sendmsg+0x62/0x70 [ 32.155152] ____sys_sendmsg+0x134/0x290 [ 32.155499] ___sys_sendmsg+0x81/0xc0 [ 32.155828] ? _get_random_bytes.part.0+0x79/0x1a0 [ 32.156240] ? ip4_datagram_release_cb+0x5f/0x1e0 [ 32.156649] ? get_random_u16+0x69/0xf0 [ 32.156989] ? __fget_light+0xcf/0x110 [ 32.157326] __sys_sendmmsg+0xc4/0x210 [ 32.157657] ? __sys_connect+0xb7/0xe0 [ 32.157995] ? __audit_syscall_entry+0xce/0x140 [ 32.158388] ? syscall_trace_enter.isra.0+0x12c/0x1a0 [ 32.158820] __x64_sys_sendmmsg+0x24/0x30 [ 32.159171] do_syscall_64+0x38/0x90 [ 32.159493] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc Fix that by reducing txq number as the non-existent primary-dev does.

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.
