Background: 1. Commit0c465be183("virtio_net: ethtool tx napi configuration") uses tx-frames to toggle napi_tx (0 off and 1 on) if notification coalescing is not supported. 2. Commit31c03aef9b("virtio_net: enable napi_tx by default") enables napi_tx for all txqs by default. Status: When virtio-net supports notification coalescing, after initialization, tx-frames is 0 and napi_tx is true. Problem: When the user only wants to set rx coalescing params using ethtool -C eth0 rx-usecs 10, or ethtool -Q eth0 queue_mask 0x1 -C rx-usecs 10, these cmds will carry tx-frames as 0, causing the napi_tx switching condition is satisfied. Then the user gets: netlink error: Device or resource busy. The same happens when trying to set rx-frames, adaptive_rx, adaptive_tx... How to fix: When notification coalescing feature is negotiated, initially make the value of tx-frames to be consistent with napi_tx. For compatibility with the past, it is still supported to use tx-frames to toggle napi_tx.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
