Subject: [PATCH 3/4] sch_api: Allow reducing queue backlog by a negative value

From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@...hat.com>

With GSO splitting in sch_cake, we can decrease as well as increase the
qlen. To make it possible to signal this up the qdisc tree, change
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() to accept signed integer values as the number
of packets and bytes to reduce the backlog by.
