We usually document each qdisc behavior in tc man pages in iproute2.
I don't mind you document it in kernel, but it kinda breaks the tradition.

The dev->tx_queue_len is fundamentally non-sense since now
almost every real NIC is multi-queue and qdisc has a completely
different sch->limit. This is why I suggested you to simply
avoid it in your code.
There is no standard way to use dev->tx_queue_len in kernel,
so I can't claim your use is correct or not, but it still looks odd,
other qdisc seems just uses as a default, rather than picking
the smaller or bigger value as a cap.
