Of course preserving a flow consistency is must-be here, but I think there are rehashing algorithms used in similar cases (sch_sfq) which take care for this. As a matter of fact, I've thought of requeuing as a best place to detect possible problems, but now I see that Alexander's proposal let's to do this simply by observing this TCQ_F_STOPPED flag [...]
Hmm... or maybe it doesn't? Since this is qdisc flag we don't know at the top which tx_queue is a problem at the bottom... Jarek P.
