This breaks compatibility to older iproute2 versions
compiled with older header versions (not including
the additional 4 octets). sch_sfq.c:

        if (opt->rta_len < RTA_LENGTH(sizeof(*ctl)))
	                return -EINVAL;

I did wonder if it could just come out now that iproute2 uses its own pkt_sched.h.


Just to be sure I understand - it's a risk that always existed eg. before Stephen maintained iproute2, when it compiled against kernel headers. If I patched kernel and failed to compile new tc/had old tc ahead in path etc. then sfq would be broken.

So if you patch make sure you build and use new tc do tc -V / check you don't have an old one in /sbin as iproute2's make install uses /usr/sbin by default.

Must be changed to use tcf_exts and ematch api once those patches
are merged. I will take care of this.

I'll have a closer look later on this week.


Thanks.

Andy.
