Daniel submitted a revert of this series but didn't cc me: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/bbdee6355234e730ef686f9321bd072bcf4bb232.1584523237.git.daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ In the ensuing discussion it turned out that the performance argument may be addressed by a rearrangement of sch_handle_egress() and nf_egress() invocations. I could look into amending the series accordingly and resubmitting, though I'm currently swamped with other work. The question is whether that's going to be sufficient because Daniel mentioned having an in-tree user as a prerequisite for accepting this feature, to which Pablo responded with NAT64/NAT46. I don't have intentions of implementing those, but maybe someone else has. Thanks, Lukas
