First of all, thanks for working to fix the origianl issue. I've been
able to test this in my host, and the gain is impressive.
Before:
# time /usr/sbin/tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 0x1234: mq
real 0m13.195s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m2.746s
With your patch:
# time /usr/sbin/tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 0x1234: mq
real 0m0.135s
user 0m0.002s
sys 0m0.116s
# time /usr/sbin/tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root handle 0x1: mq
real 0m0.127s
user 0m0.001s
sys 0m0.112s
Please add the following to the series:
