Subject[PATCH 4.1 116/159] net: graceful exit from netif_alloc_netdev_queues()
Date
4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

[ Upstream commit d339727c2b1a10f25e6636670ab6e1841170e328 ]

User space can crash kernel with

ip link add ifb10 numtxqueues 100000 type ifb

We must replace a BUG_ON() by proper test and return -EINVAL for
crazy values.

Fixes: 60877a32bce00 ("net: allow large number of tx queues")
