Subject: mlx4: Fix tx ring affinity_mask creation

From: Benjamin Poirier <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 42eab005a5dd5d7ea2b0328aecc4d6cc0c23c9c2 ]

By default, the number of tx queues is limited by the number of online cpus in mlx4_en_get_profile(). However, this limit no longer holds after the ethtool .set_channels method has been called. In that situation, the driver may access invalid bits of certain cpumask variables when queue_index >= nr_cpu_ids.
