Creation of sysfs entries is expensive, mainly for workloads that constantly creates netdev and netns often. Do not create BQL sysfs entries for devices that don't need, basically those that do not have a real queue, i.e, devices that has NETIF_F_LLTX and IFF_NO_QUEUE, such as `lo` interface. This will remove the /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-X/byte_queue_limits/ directory for these devices. In the example below, eth0 has the `byte_queue_limits` directory but not `lo`. # ls /sys/class/net/lo/queues/tx-0/ traffic_class tx_maxrate tx_timeout xps_cpus xps_rxqs # ls /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/ hold_time inflight limit limit_max limit_min This also removes the #ifdefs, since we can also use netdev_uses_bql() to check if the config is enabled.

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.
