If there are issues with 3.10, that's a different story.

Refactor improvements (v3.11-rc1):
 commit 130d3d68b52 (net_sched: psched_ratecfg_precompute()

improvements)

Needed because it fixes the accuracy of the rate calc.

The linklayer ATM/ADSL fix, reached 3.11-rc6:
 commit 8a8e3d84b17 (net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling)

Needed because we broke userspace interface.

David sends me the networking patches for the stable tree, and if he
thinks these are applicable, then I'll take them.

DaveM, please?  What do you want me to do, submit this req/patches somehow?

+1 Dealing with the busted DSL stuff since 3.8 has been no fun and it would
be nice if these last fixes made it into 3.10.X at least so router/fw
distros can pick them up more easily. The difference in dsl behavior since
the bustage in 3.8 to the saner now is remarkable.

Probably not meeting the criteria for 3.10-stable inclusion (as they aren't
exactly bugfixes) are the tiny improvements to the flow dissector made in
3.11 for better ipip, ipv6 encapsulation, and 802.1ad support, but I
thought I'd mention them so other fq_codel folk pick them up that need them.

Not ready for any tree and increasingly doubtful for 3.12 are some
improvements under test to codel and cisco's sch_pie, if anyone wants to
play with them, let me know off list.
