dd-wrt has it already :-)

Thank you for all the gymnastics to keep cake alive in openwrt.

I would still like there to be a sce branch of the out of tree work
that I could point people at
in my lca talk this week, but I understand that's increasingly difficult.

did this make it into openwrt already?
It’s complicated and it depends what you mean by openwrt.

First off, the fix relates to auto-bandwith mode or whatever it’s called and I 
don’t think many people use it.  Nonetheless:

Is the fix in ’net-next’: yes
Is the fix in 4.19 stable: In the queue for 4.19.95

Is openwrt on 4.19.95: No
Does openwrt use the in-tree version of Cake?: No

Is the fix in the Out-Of-Tree cake git repo: Yes

Has the openwrt CAKE package been bumped to follow cake git repo?: master, yes, 
as of 2020/01/11 (earlier today)

OpenWrt 19.07 has just been released, its concept of cake package has not been 
bumped.  Neither has 18.06.


It is worth noting that until yesterday/recently the out of tree cake repo had 
residue in it from some experimental stuff (SCE & updating conntrack marks) and 
did not represent upstream in-tree CAKE anyway.  That situation was corrected AFAIK 
completely this morning.

Ideally I would like openwrt to use the in-tree CAKE, with ‘feature backports’ from 
later kernels as backport patches.  Unfortunately some targets in openwrt are still 
on 4.14 kernels so there is no in-tree CAKE to use.  Dropping CAKE from pre 4.19 
kernels caused a bit of an outcry when I did it, so the next idea was to have a 
choice of cake kernel module for K4.19 targets, in-tree & out-of-tree CAKE.  
Unfortunately that exposed a weakness in package dependency selection, so that idea 
hasn’t flown either.  I’m afraid enthusiasm levels then dropped.
