Subject: [RFC iproute2 0/4] Revert tc batchsize feature

The batchsize feature of tc might save a few cycles but it
is a maintaince nightmare, it has uninitialized variables and
poor error handling. 

This patch set reverts back to the original state.
Please don't resubmit original code. Go back to the drawing
board and do something generic.  For example, the routing
daemons have figured out that by using multiple threads and
turning off the netlink ACK they can update millions of routes
quickly.

Stephen Hemminger (4):
  Revert "tc: Remove pointless assignments in batch()"
  Revert "tc: flush after each command in batch mode"
  Revert "tc: fix batch force option"
  Revert "tc: Add batchsize feature for filter and actions"
