Hi Stephen

Your diffstat was an old one, here the right one.

 include/linux/pkt_sched.h |   29 +
 net/sched/Kconfig         |   11 
 net/sched/Makefile        |    1 
 net/sched/sch_choke.c     |  552 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


I tested v8 and found several serious problems, please find a diff of my
latest changes :

- wrong oskb/skb used in choke_enqueue()
- choke_zap_head_holes() is called from choke_dequeue() and crash if we
dequeued last packet. (!!!)
- out of bound access in choke_zap_tail_holes()
- choke_dequeue() can be shorter
- choke_change() must dequeue/drop in excess packets or risk new array
overfill (if we reduce queue limit by tc qdisc change ...)
- inline is not needed, space errors in include file

Thanks !
