Antoine Tenart 255c04a87f net: embed num_tc in the xps maps
The xps cpus/rxqs map is accessed using dev->num_tc, which is used when
allocating the map. But later updates of dev->num_tc can lead to having
a mismatch between the maps and how they're accessed. In such cases the
map values do not make any sense and out of bound accesses can occur
(that can be easily seen using KASAN).

This patch aims at fixing this by embedding num_tc into the maps, using
the value at the time the map is created. This brings two improvements:
- The maps can be accessed using the embedded num_tc, so we know for
  sure we won't have out of bound accesses.
- Checks can be made before accessing the maps so we know the values
  retrieved will make sense.

We also update __netif_set_xps_queue to conditionally copy old maps from
dev_maps in the new one only if the number of traffic classes from both
maps match.

README

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.
