Subject: [net-next rfc v7 3/3] virtio-net: change the number of queues through ethtool
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:16:00 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1354011360-39479-4-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1354011360-39479-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>

This patch implement the {set|get}_channels method of ethool to allow user to
change the number of queues dymaically when the device is running. This would
let the user to configure it on demand.
