tc bind dev sw0p0 queue 0 dev eth0 queue 16It this the eth0 i don't like here. Why not in the implementation just use something like netdev_master_upper_dev_get('sw0p0')? Or does tc bind dev sw0p0 queue 0 dev lo queue 16 make sense?
Last I brought this up with Jiri that we should link DSA network devices to their master network deviecs with netdev_upper_dev_link() he said this was not appropriate for DSA slave network devices, but I can't remember why, I would assume that any stacked device set up would do that. In any case, we need to establish a mapping so we have to specify at least the target device's queue number. It is quite similar in premise to e.g: enslaving a network device to a bridge port: ip link set dev eth0 master br0 Thanks -- Florian
