Sigh.

Because some people install htb or pfifo on veth, leaving tx_queue_len
unchanged.

If you install htb while tx_queue_len is 0, pfifo created on htb classe
can only queue one packet.


static int fifo_init(struct Qdisc *sch, struct nlattr *opt)
{
        bool bypass;
        bool is_bfifo = sch->ops == &bfifo_qdisc_ops;

        if (opt == NULL) {
                u32 limit = qdisc_dev(sch)->tx_queue_len ? : 1;

                if (is_bfifo)
                        limit *= psched_mtu(qdisc_dev(sch));

                sch->limit = limit;



Changing veth txqueuelen is too late.
