Secondly each of your user-space messages is producing a number of
replies.  This should be done as a dump operation.  If you do it as
a dump operation, then you will never get overruns because the kernel
never sends more than the user can handle.

This is not accurate. You will get overruns. Try adding a few thousand
ipsec policies and then dumping them. Perhaps we can have the cb reset
in case of overrun detection.

I just happen to have a few thousand ipsec policies :) I dump them
all the time with the great new tool in iproute and I've never had
any overruns.  In contrast whenever I use setkey to dump them over
PFKEY it dies very quickly indeed.

I bet that there is a bug somewhere in the tc stuff.  Let me have a look.
