This is great to have! Indeed, it is very useful - without control on the tx buffer, it can lead to much increased jitter (if too much gets blocked). Ideally, this could be a socket option but I don't think that it is necessary now. It would be good to have this submitted. I had meant to update it with regard to the latest change sets, but my connection is sluggish and I also need to update the patch backlog. If you submit this, I can take care of making it applicable to the latest changes.
Yes I agree it would be good to have as a socket option and will look at that sometime (maybe not soon). I tried to get my git trees up to date but kernel.org stuff is basically unusable at present. If you want to then you can update otherwise I will try again after the weekend (going to see WRC stage shortly and birthday tomorrow).
Please see inline.
Think I got these all. Will resend patches shortly.
