Could you give me some hint why not unlock before
htb_destroy_class call in htb_delete, please?

I considered this unnecessary risk. But it can be done as you
like. If I understand, you are not sure yet.

I've thought about this but it seems there could still be some
memory saving with the union - probably - with large number of
inner classes.

I'll remove this but then qdisc_reset have to be added.
Or maybe I should forget rc6 and redo this only on top
of your patch?

Could you explain? Probably I miss something here.
