Can you be more specific here? Which call path requests a smaller
tx queue num? If you mean netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(), clearly
we already have a synchronize_net() there.

Like Eric said, it is not nice to call such a blocking function when
we have a large number of TX queues. Possibly we just need to
add a synchronize_net() as in netif_set_real_num_tx_queues(),
if it is missing.

Thanks.
