When was the bug added ?

Hint: Please provide a Fixes: tag

taprio_parse_mqprio_opt() already checks :

/* Verify num_tc is not out of max range */
if (qopt->num_tc > TC_MAX_QUEUE) {
    NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, "Number of traffic classes is outside valid range");
    return -EINVAL;
}

So what is happening exactly ?
