I am sorry Changli - I think we are talking past each other. I
a conflicted on the whole point of saving and restoring these
devqueue mappings. I understand that for ifb, saving and restoring the
original devs is fundamental for its operation- but i am not sure i see
it for the queues. As an example:

---
# For all packets arriving on ifb0, change mapping to 3 and
# redirect to to ifb1

tc filter add dev ifb0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 10 u32 \
match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \
action skbedit queue_mapping 4 \
action mirred egress redirect dev ifb1
#
# redirect all packets arriving in eth0 to ifb0
$TC filter add eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 10 u32 \
match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0
----

what is the expected behavior?
