  - iavf: fix out-of-bounds writes in iavf_get_ethtool_stats() iavf incorrectly uses real_num_tx_queues for     ETH_SS_STATS. Since the value could change in runtime, we should use num_tx_queues instead. Moreover     iavf_get_ethtool_stats() uses num_active_queues while iavf_get_sset_count() and iavf_get_stat_strings()     use real_num_tx_queues, which triggers out-of-bounds writes when we do ethtool -L and ethtool -S     simultaneously [1]. For example when we change channels from 1 to 8, Thread 3 could be scheduled before     Thread 2, and out-of-bounds writes could be triggered in Thread 3: Thread 1 (ethtool -L) Thread 2 (work)     Thread 3 (ethtool -S) iavf_set_channels() ... iavf_alloc_queues() -> num_active_queues = 8     iavf_schedule_finish_config() iavf_get_sset_count() real_num_tx_queues: 1 -> buffer for 1 queue     iavf_get_ethtool_stats() num_active_queues: 8 -> out-of-bounds! iavf_finish_config() -> real_num_tx_queues     = 8 Use immutable num_tx_queues in all related functions to avoid the issue.
