Add flow control mechanism between paired netdevsim devices to stop the TX queue during high traffic scenarios. When a receive queue becomes congested (approaching NSIM_RING_SIZE limit), the corresponding transmit queue on the peer device is stopped using netif_subqueue_try_stop(). Once the receive queue has sufficient capacity again, the peer's transmit queue is resumed with netif_tx_wake_queue(). Key changes: * Add nsim_stop_peer_tx_queue() to pause peer TX when RX queue is full * Add nsim_start_peer_tx_queue() to resume peer TX when RX queue drains * Implement queue mapping validation to ensure TX/RX queue count match * Wake all queues during device unlinking to prevent stuck queues * Use RCU protection when accessing peer device references * wake the queues when changing the queue numbers * Remove IFF_NO_QUEUE given it will enqueue packets now The flow control only activates when devices have matching TX/RX queue counts to ensure proper queue mapping.

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 reStructuredText 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.
