A qdisc can be fed with skbs that are not linear, or pretend to be TCP, but they be truncated by malicious sender. skb might have headers or payload in the page fragments, thus we generally have to call pskb_may_pull() to bring headers in skb->head Quite frankly , an ack-filter does not belong to a packet scheduler. It might be added to tcp conntrack module _if_ someone really cares. _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
