Subject: [PATCH net-next V4 5/6] net: introduce NETDEV_CHANGE_TX_QUEUE_LEN
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 14:45:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1467269136-8082-6-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1467269136-8082-1-git-send-email-jasowang@redhat.com>

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.
