Hi Jakub.

Here are the details of the failure. Do I need to do cleanup under the 
failed path?

If a dev has multiple queues and queue 0 fails to attach qdisc
because there is no memory in attach_one_default_qdisc(). Then
dev->qdisc will be noop_qdisc by default. But the other queues
may be able to successfully attach to default qdisc.

In this case, the fallback to noqueue process will be triggered

static void attach_default_qdiscs(struct net_device *dev)
{
     ...
     if (!netif_is_multiqueue(dev) ||
         dev->priv_flags & IFF_NO_QUEUE) {
             ...
             netdev_for_each_tx_queue(dev, attach_one_default_qdisc, 
NULL); // queue 0 attach failed because -ENOBUFS, but the other queues 
attach successfully
             qdisc = txq->qdisc_sleeping;
             rcu_assign_pointer(dev->qdisc, qdisc); // dev->qdisc = 
&noop_qdisc
             ...
     }
     ...
     if (qdisc == &noop_qdisc) {
         ...
         netdev_for_each_tx_queue(dev, attach_one_default_qdisc, NULL); 
// Re-attach, but not release the previously created qdisc
         ...
     }
}
