In HFSC non-zero qlen while all classes are inactive triggers warning:

This patch return __NET_XMIT_BYPASS in addition to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS,
this flag tells upper layer: this packet is gone and isn't queued.

Why do not we use instead :

        return qdisc_drop(skb, sch, to_free);

Although noop_enqueue() seems to use :

        return NET_XMIT_CN;

Oh well.



I suppose "blackhole" should work like "successful" xmit, but counted as drop.
