Jumping in there since I'm probably the one thinking the TC ingress abstraction is wrong the strongest - yes, it's an interesting idea. Unlike egress qdiscs, ingress only has a single classifier chain anyways, so there is no qdisc internal classification structure to be observed. It should be possible to skip the ingress invocation for classification purposes completely and only use it to expose it to userspace for management purposes, while invoking the chain directly. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
