This patch introduces a new event - NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN, this
will be triggered when tx_queue_len. It could be used by net device
who want to do some processing at that time. An example is tun who may
want to resize tx array when tx_queue_len is changed.

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
Right, will do this in next version.
Thanks
Ok, since Michael has acked on the series, will prepare a patch on top.
Thanks
