Excuse me. My question is that the original code doesn't stop the tx queue
either, so I don't understand why it is necessary for this patch.

I don't say I wouldn't find the suitable value for the tx queue length.
I feel I need some time to think how to find the reasonable value. And
I don't hope it influences the submission of the other patches, so I
remove it first. Or, may I submit the other two patches first?
