Oh, very good point... You actually mean in some cases we enqueue
one packet and then drop one packet which ends up with dropping 0
packet but the backlog size goes down by (drop_len - enqueue_len). :)

Hmm, I need to double check for this case for sure, but for sfq case,
I just did:

-       qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen(sch, 1);
+       qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(sch, 1, dropped);

which isn't the case where n==0, like you mentioned.

I am auditing that case for all the qdisc's anyway.

Thanks.
