Hi Jakub.
	Thank you for your reply. Recently I've been studying the kernel code 
related to qdisc, and my goal is to understand how qdisc works. If the 
code can be optimized, I do what I can to modify the optimization. Is it 
more appropriate to add warning to the offload return value? I look 
forward to your reply. Thank you.
