The premise of all this is that this is called immediately after reset or init.
So here, this error doesn't occur, so I didn't check.
Regarding the lock issue, there will be no race for either rq or sq.
rq is called after init vq, and there is no race at this time.
In this patch set, sq is called during reset, and there will be no race.
So I think it's safe.

Yes, I agree, it would be better to use BUG_ON.
The next verion will remove this commit, because I will put the patch set
to the net-next. So I will not let the premapped to be dynamic.
About the BUG_ON, I will post a patch to fix that.
Thanks.
