Hi Xiaolei Wang,

If this is a fix, targeted at the net tree, then it should probably have
a Fixes tag here (no blank line between it and other tags).

I am concerned that in this case the stab will be updated even if the
change operation is rejected by the following code in the if
(tca[TCA_OPTIONS]) block, just below the above hunk.

		if (tca[TCA_INGRESS_BLOCK] || tca[TCA_EGRESS_BLOCK]) {
			NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, "Change of blocks is not supported");
			return -EOPNOTSUPP;
		}
