rtnl: limit IFLA_NUM_TX_QUEUES and IFLA_NUM_RX_QUEUES to 4096
[ Upstream commit 0e1d6eca5113858ed2caea61a5adc03c595f6096 ] We have an impressive number of syzkaller bugs that are linked to the fact that syzbot was able to create a networking device with millions of TX (or RX) queues. Let's limit the number of RX/TX queues to 4096, this really should cover all known cases. A separate patch will add various cond_resched() in the loops handling sysfs entries at device creation and dismantle. Tested: lpaa6:~# ip link add gre-4097 numtxqueues 4097 numrxqueues 4097 type ip6gretap RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument lpaa6:~# time ip link add gre-4096 numtxqueues 4096 numrxqueues 4096 type ip6gretap real 0m0.180s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.107s Fixes: 76ff5cc91935 ("rtnl: allow to specify number of rx and tx queues on device creation") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
