Subject: Re: [RFC] [PATCH] Avoid enqueuing skb for default qdiscs

I will send out a final version after any more comments with a fix for a
typo:

-static inline int __qdisc_update_bstats(struct Qdisc *sch, unsigned int
len)
+static inline void __qdisc_update_bstats(struct Qdisc *sch, unsigned int
len)

Thanks,

- KK
