The original code uses netdev->real_num_tx_queues to bookkeep number of queues and invokes netif_set_real_num_tx_queues to set the number of queues. However, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues doesn't allow real_num_tx_queues to be smaller than 1, which means setting the number to 0 will not work and real_num_tx_queues is untouched. This is bogus when xenvif_free is invoked before any number of queues is allocated. That function needs to iterate through all queues to free resources. Using the wrong number of queues results in NULL pointer dereference. So we bookkeep the number of queues in xen-netback to solve this problem. This fixes a regression introduced by multiqueue patchset in 3.16-rc1. There's another bug in original code that the real number of RX queues is never set. In current Xen multiqueue design, the number of TX queues and RX queues are in fact the same. We need to set the numbers of TX and RX queues to the same value. Also remove xenvif_select_queue and leave queue selection to core driver, as suggested by David Miller.
