Bit 8 of skb->tc_verd is set by IFB, so packet isn't reclassify.
This bit avoid the loop.

It would, if something would actually set it.

~/src/kernel/linux-2.6$ grep NCLS -r net/
net/core/dev.c: if (skb->tc_verd & TC_NCLS) {
net/core/dev.c:         skb->tc_verd = CLR_TC_NCLS(skb->tc_verd);
net/sched/act_api.c:    if (skb->tc_verd & TC_NCLS) {
net/sched/act_api.c:            skb->tc_verd = CLR_TC_NCLS(skb->tc_verd);
net/sched/act_api.c:            D2PRINTK("(%p)tcf_action_exec: cleared
TC_NCLS in %s out %s\n",
~/src/kernel/linux-2.6$

Am I missing something? Jamal, where is this bit supposed to be set?

OK, I'm apparently missing the ability to read :) Please disregard ..
