[PATCH 2/2] ip6mr: Make cache queue length configurable
From: Brodie Greenfield
Date: Wed Mar 06 2019 - 15:20:29 EST
We want to be able to keep more spaces available in our queue for
processing incoming IPv6 multicast traffic (adding (S,G) entries) - this
lets us learn more groups faster, rather than dropping them at this stage.
