However, some virtual devices like veth implement a real ptr_ring FIFO with NAPI processing and benefit from BQL to limit in-flight bytes and reduce latency. Add a per-device 'bql' bitfield boolean in the priv_flags_slow section of struct net_device. When set, it overrides the IFF_NO_QUEUE/lltx exclusion and exposes BQL sysfs entries (/sys/class/net//queues/ tx-/byte_queue_limits/). The flag is still gated on CONFIG_BQL. This allows drivers that use BQL despite being IFF_NO_QUEUE to opt in to sysfs visibility for monitoring and debugging.
