You can avoid an expensive divide with following trick :

u32 idx = ((u64)rxq * numqueues) >> 32;

typo here, you want tfile_list[j++] = tfile;

Could you take a look at net/packet/af_packet.c, to check how David did
the whole fanout thing ?

__fanout_unlink()

Trick is to not leave NULL entries in the tun->tfiles[] array.

It makes things easier in hot path.
