Get it. Thanks.

The new version of ifb is attached:
1. fixbug: a deadlock.
2. fixbug: statistics data corruption.
3. fixbug: can't work with ip link command.

Dear Patrick:

The support for specifying the number of TX queues with ip link
command is comming soon. I do think the corresponding kernel module
parameter is needed for the default option and the ifbs created when
module loading, so I preserve it.
