Herbert, I take it you saw a lot of requeues happening that prompted this? What were the circumstances? The _only_ times i have seen it happen is when the (PCI) bus couldnt handle the incoming rate or there was a bug in the driver. Also: what happens to the packet that comes in from either local or is being forwarded and finds the qdisc_is_running flag is set? I couldnt tell if the intent was to drop it or not. The answer for TCP is probably simpler than for packets being forwarded.
