Subject: pkt_sched: fq: change classification of control packets
From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 2abc2f070eb30ac8421554a5c32229f8332c6206 ]
Initial sch_fq implementation copied code from pfifo_fast to classify
a packet as a high prio packet.
This clashes with setups using PRIO with say 7 bands, as one of the
band could be incorrectly (mis)classified by FQ.
Packets would be queued in the 'internal' queue, and no pacing ever
happen for this special queue.
