You misunderstood me. You can work on top of my compat attribute
patches, but the example code should not have to go in to apply
your patch.

This options seems useless. Its not used *anywhere* except for
dependencies.

And this dependency as well.

Same here. RR

OK, again:

Introduce NET_SCH_RR. NET_SCH_RR selects NET_SCH_PRIO. Nothing at
all changes for NET_SCH_PRIO itself. Additionally introduce a
boolean NET_SCH_MULTIQUEUE. No dependencies at all. Use
NET_SCH_MULTIQUEUE to guard the multiqueue code in sch_prio.c.
Your current code doesn't even have any ifdefs anymore though,
so this might not be needed at all.

Additionally you could later introduce E1000_MULTIQUEUE and
have that select NET_SCH_MULTIQUEUE.

I'll try again - please move this to patch 2/3.

Might look cleaner if you have one central point where queue_mapping is
set and the band is returned.

If you're using it as a flag, please use RTA_GET_FLAG(),
otherwise RTA_GET_U8.

And RTA_PUT_FLAG. Now that I think of it, does it even makes sense
to have a prio private flag for this instead of a qdisc global one?

Proper error handling please.
