First, thanks for explanation !
Then about the patch, I've tested this patch before I sent it. Precisely because of
the testing, I add the code that not mentioned in the changelog. Anyway, I'm sorry
for the bad changelog, I'll write more explicitly for my next patches.

Here is my test way :

Step 1. One terminal run iperf to send packets:
  # iperf -c $ip -i 1 -P 1 -t 6000

Step 2. Another terminal run the script:
#!/bin/sh
int=1
while(( $int<=5 ))
do
tc qdisc replace dev eth4 root handle 1: fq_codel limit 10
tc qdisc replace dev eth4 root handle 1: fq_codel limit 100000
done

(Besides, to make sure it has execute the code I've changed, I printed some
message after my changed code.)

Step 3. run '# tc qdisc -s -d show dev eth4'
qdisc fq_codel 1: dev eth4 root refcnt 2 limit 10p flows 1024 quantum 1514 target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms ecn 
 Sent 928883982 bytes 616651 pkt (*dropped 747*, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 
  maxpacket 1514 *drop_overlimit 654* new_flow_count 15 ecn_mark 0
  new_flows_len 0 old_flows_len 0

>From the test result, I found that _drop_overlimit_ are smaller than _dropped_ , so I increased
_drop_overlimit_ (not overlimits of qstats). Then I got the below result which  _drop_overlimit_
and _dropped_ are equal.

qdisc fq_codel 1: dev eth4 root refcnt 2 limit 10p flows 1024 quantum 1514 target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms ecn 
 Sent 3309408635 bytes 2196855 pkt (*dropped 4458*, overlimits 0 requeues 2) 
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 2 
  maxpacket 1514 *drop_overlimit 4458* new_flow_count 57 ecn_mark 0
  new_flows_len 0 old_flows_len 0
(For fq and hhf, I use the same test way)

I wonder if _overlimit_ that you mentioned in the earlier mail and _drop_overlimit_ I mentioned here
are same variable. If they're same , maybe I miss something, please let me know.

Thanks!
