Not true - as the classifier example shows, if there's already a framework that supports hooking loadable modules into some kernel system, a resource controller can be a module. > > In fact, net_cls is the only subsystem that can be a module, and > make it a module doesn't seem to have real benefit? Wouldn't it be just as useful as any other module-loadable classifier, of which there are quite a few? It's true that net_cls is currently the only subsystem that makes sense to use as a module, but its existence shows that the concept isn't too outlandish.
