From 9ea19481db31d614f729f346bdcf28e4e60ff14a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Fastabend Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 06:31:39 +0000 Subject: net: zero kobject in rx_queue_release netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() can decrement and increment the number of rx queues. For example ixgbe does this as features and offloads are toggled. Presumably this could also happen across down/up on most devices if the available resources changed (cpu offlined). The kobject needs to be zero'd in this case so that the state is not preserved across kobject_put()/kobject_init_and_add(). This resolves the following error report. ixgbe 0000:03:00.0: eth2: NIC Link is Up 10 Gbps, Flow Control: RX/TX kobject (ffff880324b83210): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong.
