I can confirm that your patch deals with my command sensibly, and also
that "tc filter add ... conform-exceed drop/drop" does what I wanted.

That command is from a script that used to work with iproute2-ss020116
(2002!), which had the following in tc/m_police.c:

210     } else if (strcmp(*argv, "action") == 0) {
211             NEXT_ARG();
212             if (get_police_result(&p.action, &presult, *argv)) {

I don't know when that bit was dropped, but it used to be there. :-)

Thank you for your help.
