Oh, I missed it.
I agree the core should check dev->real_num_rx_queues.
But the current devmem TCP code checks dev->num_rx_queues instead of
dev->real_num_rx_queues.
I tested the below change, and it works well.
So, I will comment on it in Mina's patch.

diff --git a/net/core/devmem.c b/net/core/devmem.c
index 7afaf17801ef..da27778c2421 100644
--- a/net/core/devmem.c

@@ -146,7 +146,7 @@ int net_devmem_bind_dmabuf_to_queue(struct
net_device *dev, u32 rxq_idx,
u32 xa_idx;
int err;

- if (rxq_idx >= dev->num_rx_queues)
+ if (rxq_idx >= dev->real_num_rx_queues)
return -ERANGE;

rxq = __netif_get_rx_queue(dev, rxq_idx);


Thanks a lot!
