RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jiri Pirko 2011-10-13 12:30:09 UTC
Description of problem:

Listed drivers do not use netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() to set up number of TX queues. Therefore sysfs files for queues are not created so TX packet steering cannot be done on these. Fix this by calling netif_set_real_num_tx_queues().

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ls /sys/class/net/[ifname]/queues/
  
Actual results:
only tx-0 is there

Expected results:
multiple tx-\d+ are there

Comment 1 Jiri Pirko 2011-10-14 11:22:25 UTC
This is not needed. register_queue_kobjects() is taking care of it.
