The value is arbitrary. I think it is better to stop tx when
queuing many packets, otherwise all the available memory may
be used for tx skb. The queue length could be any value or
unlimited if the memory is enough. Should I remove it?

I thought you indicated the last patch only and the others are clear enough.
I would improve them.
