Sure. See the other reply from on why dropped packets are not
interesting here.

Totally disagree, because trace_qdisc_dequeue() is only called for
successful cases too (see dequeue_skb()), it does not make sense
to let them be different.

Nope. Because ->enqueue() is called by lower layer qdisc's
too, but here we only want to track root, aka, entrance of TC.
I know this may be confusing, please blame trace_qdisc_dequeue()
which only tracks the exit. ;)

Thanks.
