4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7effaf06c3cdef6855e127886c7405b9ab62f90d ] Fix dev_change_tx_queue_len so it rolls back original value upon a failure in dev_qdisc_change_tx_queue_len. This is already done for notifirers' failures, share the code. In case of failure in dev_qdisc_change_tx_queue_len, some tx queues would still be of the new length, while they should be reverted. Currently, the revert is not done, and is marked with a TODO label in dev_qdisc_change_tx_queue_len, and should find some nice solution to do it. Yet it is still better to not apply the newly requested value.
