This is a follow up patch to iproute2 that allows the user to set and retrieve the added IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_QUEUE_LEN parameter via the bcqueuelen command line argument This controls the requested size of the macvlan queue for broadcast and multicast packages. If not specified the driver default (1000) is 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. 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 cannot be directly set.
