Has anyone received this message? I guess at least vger and kuba@...nel.org
rejected it, because I got this bounce email:

kernel.org suspects your message is spam and rejected it.

Error:

Interestingly, if I click the link above, it says "This is not due to an
issue with your email set-up", so I'm not sure what to believe...

Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] Improve the taprio qdisc's relationship with
 its children
X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.34.1

Prompted by Vinicius' request to consolidate some child Qdisc
dereferences in taprio:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/87edmxv7x2.fsf@intel.com/

I remembered that I had left some unfinished work in this Qdisc, namely
commit af7b29b1deaa ("Revert "net/sched: taprio: make qdisc_leaf() see
the per-netdev-queue pfifo child qdiscs"").

This patch set represents another stab at, essentially, what's in the
title. Not only does taprio not properly detect when it's grafted as a
non-root qdisc, but it also returns incorrect per-class stats.
Eventually, Vinicius' request is addressed too, although in a different
form than the one he requested (which was purely cosmetic).

Review from people more experienced with Qdiscs than me would be
appreciated. I tried my best to explain what I consider to be problems.
I am deliberately targeting net-next because the changes are too
invasive for net - they were reverted from stable once already.

Vladimir Oltean (5):
  net/sched: taprio: don't access q->qdiscs[] in unoffloaded mode during
    attach()
  net/sched: taprio: keep child Qdisc refcount elevated at 2 in offload
    mode
  net/sched: taprio: try again to report q->qdiscs[] to qdisc_leaf()
  net/sched: taprio: delete misleading comment about preallocating child
    qdiscs
  net/sched: taprio: dump class stats for the actual q->qdiscs[]
