That's too bad.

I have a patch which I am still testing, but you've managed to captivate
my attention for saying that you are testing 802.1Qch with a software
implementation of tc-gate.

Do you have a use case for this? What cycle times are you targeting?
How are you ensuring that you are deterministically meeting the deadlines?
Do you also have a software tc-taprio on the egress device or is that
at least offloaded?

I'm asking these questions because the peristaltic shaper is primarily
intended to be used on hardware switches. The patch I'm preparing
includes changes to struct sk_buff. I just want to know how well I'll be
able to sell these changes to maintainers strongly opposing the growth
of this structure for an exceedingly small niche :)
