The cited patch added a call to dev_change_tx_queue_len in
SIOCSIFTXQLEN case.
This obsoletes the new len comparison check done before the function call.
Remove it here.
For the desicion of keep/remove the negative value check, we examine the
range check in dev_change_tx_queue_len.
On 64-bit we will fail with -ERANGE. The 32-bit int ifr_qlen will be sign
extended to 64-bits when it is passed into dev_change_tx_queue_len(). And
then for negative values this test triggers:
if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
return -ERANGE;
because:
if (0xffffffffWHATEVER != 0x00000000WHATEVER)
On 32-bit the signed value will be accepted, changing behavior.
Therefore, the negative value check is kept.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
