Re: [PATCH] pkt_sched: QFQ Plus: fair-queueing service at DRR cost

[This patch received positive feedback from Stephen Hemminger ("put in
net-next"), but no further feedback or decision. So I am (re)sending
an updated version of it. The only differences with respect to the
previous version are the support for TSO/GSO (taken from QFQ), and a
hopefully improved description.]

Can you rearrange the logic so that the compiler doesn't emit this
warning?

In file included from net/sched/sch_qfq.c:18:0:
net/sched/sch_qfq.c: In function ‘qfq_dequeue’:
include/net/sch_generic.h:480:15: warning: ‘skb’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1007:18: note: ‘skb’ was declared here

You and I both know that SKB will be initialized at this point, but
the compiler can't see it clearly enough.

Thanks.
