Deleting tc filters

[Patrick Turley <pturley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a fairly sophisticated bandwidth control tree. I am using filters 
to allocate traffic to various HTB buckets according to packet marks. 
Nothing about that is terribly hard.

The problem is that my user population is dynamic. Users appear and 
disappear over time. Also, the priority to which a user is entitled 
changes over time. So, as these changes occur, I need to delete and 
recreate various classes, and I need to change the associated filters in 
order to route user traffic to the appropriate places. Deleting and 
reconstructing the entire tree is not an option.

The problem I'm running into is that it's *very* hard to figure out how 
to delete filters. And I'm not the only one who has found this 
difficult. After a lot of painful Googling, I found the following two 
outstanding examples:

Has anyone made any progress in figuring out the best way to do this?
