Great timing I was just looking into this because I need it for the
qdisc side.
It looks like this covers the sysfs change but the tx_queue_len can
also be changed via rtnetlink as well. So we need another patch for
that path right?
if (tb[IFLA_TXQLEN]) {
unsigned long value = nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_TXQLEN]);
if (dev->tx_queue_len ^ value)
status |= DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY;
dev->tx_queue_len = value;
}
Thanks,
John
