Hi Jesper, would you please help answer John's question?

Makes sense to me.

The to_send also need to init to cnt.

This line could move in to the xdp_prog brackets to save time when no xdp_prog.

	if (bq->xdp_prog) {
		to_send = ...
		if (!to_send) {
			...
		}
		drops = cnt - to_send;
	}

If we don't have xdp_prog, the to_send should be cnt.

Thanks for your code, looks much clear now.
