Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next v2] iplink:macvlan: Added bcqueuelen parameter
This patch allows the user to set and retrieve the
IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_QUEUE_LEN parameter via the bcqueuelen
command line argument
This parameter controls the requested size of the queue for
broadcast and multicast packages in the macvlan driver.
If not specified, the driver default (1000) will be used.
Note: The request is per macvlan but the actually used queue
length per port is the maximum of any request to any macvlan
connected to the same port.
For this reason, the used queue length IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_QUEUE_LEN_USED
is also retrieved and displayed in order to aid in the understanding
of the setting. However, it can of course not be directly set.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Karlsson <thomas.karlsson@...eda.se>

Note: This patch controls the parameter added in net-next
with commit d4bff72c8401e6f56194ecf455db70ebc22929e2
v2 Rebased on origin/main
v1 Initial version
