Would it be enough to check the dev_queue_xmit() return
code for NETDEV_TX_BUSY?

How would I get notified when it gets free again?

You can do this by creating a socket. Look at how tun does
this now.

Hmm, I was hoping to be able to avoid this, because I can
interact more directly with the outbound physical interface
using dev_queue_xmit() instead of netif_rx_ni().

Yea, that's what tun does. socket just notifies you when
packets are freed.

I'll have a look. Thanks,
