Sorry, I get it now.

No. It should go through the NFS client tree.

I can queue it up.

* pull request: wireless-next 2012-07-20
From: John W. Linville @ 2012-07-20 17:20 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: davem; +Cc: linux-wireless, netdev

commit 90b90f60c4f8e3a8525dfeb4aec46a9c7a29c857

Dave,

Here is what I hope to be the last non-fix pull request for wireless
bits going into 3.6.  It's mostly normal stuff, including driver
updates to ath9k, mwifiex, libertas, iwlwifi, and a few other bits.

Also included is a bluetooth pull.  Gustavo says:

	"This is my last pull towards 3.6, the biggest thing here is
	the new 3-wire UART Bluetooth driver by Johan Hedberg. The
	rest is just fixes and clean ups."

Finally, there is a pull of the wireless tree to pick-up a few minor
fixes I had queued that were not really worthy for this late in the
3.5 cycle.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

[...]

The ethtool API is typically used for net device operations that can be
largely devolved to individual drivers, and which the network stack can
mostly ignore (though offload features are an historical exception to
this).  It started with Ethernet link settings, but many operations are
applicable (and implemented by) other types of network device.

I am not sure I like this solution.  This means that the application 
must fetch the pathmaxrx and then write the same value back here.
Why not simply ignore the patthmaxrxt if it's 0?  That way someone can 
just tweak the pf value without changing the pathmaxrxt.

The code assumes that it is the size of a single pointer...

TCP ABC was an experiment that failed. It solves a problem that does not exist on Linux. I did the implementation mostly to prove that.

Perhaps it abc should just be removed?

There is "txqueuelen" present already in iplink. I tried to be uniform here.
Isn't "txq" and "rxq" rather too short? And afterall, these parameters
are not supposed to be used on daily basis by anyone :)

Is VMDQ intended to become a generic name?

Why isn't the device allocation left to the lower device driver?  It
seems like this would simplify things quite a bit.

Why should this match the lower device?  Is the assumption that it will
share the lower device's TX queues and only have its own RX queue(s)?

Perhaps a good compromise is numtxq and numrxq?
