[ Upstream commit0e1d6eca51] 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
