Subject[PATCH net-next] macvtap/macvlan: use IFF_NO_QUEUE
Date
For macvlan, switch to use IFF_NO_QUEUE instead of tx_queue_len = 0.

For macvtap, after commit 6acf54f1cf0a6747bac9fea26f34cfc5a9029523
("macvtap: Add support of packet capture on macvtap
device."). Multiqueue macvtap suffers from single qdisc lock
contention. This is because macvtap claims a non zero tx_queue_len and
it reuses this value as it socket receive queue size.Thanks to
IFF_NO_QUEUE, we can remove the lock contention without breaking
existing socket receive queue length logic.
