Taking that\nclass from netdev_txq_to_tc(), __netif_set_xps_queue() rejects only a\nnegative one and indexes an XPS map sized for dev->num_tc classes:\n\n\ttci = j * num_tc + tc;\n\tRCU_INIT_POINTER(new_dev_maps->attr_map[tci], map);\n\nattr_map[] holds nr_ids * num_tc entries and j runs over the ids named\nin the mask, so a class that is not below num_tc pushes tci past the end\nof the map for the last ids and the store overruns it.\n\nAny caller that lowers num_tc leaves such entries behind, and\nmqprio_destroy() tears down with netdev_set_num_tc(dev, 0) rather than\nnetdev_reset_tc().
