If you believe a driver can increase real_num_rx_queue, then we should apply your patch, and refine API if necessary. We now allocate rx queues in register_netdevice(), maybe we should do the same for tx queues. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
