Correct, I tested all these cases and it works perfectly fine.

I also completed porting TCA_XSTATS to the new gnet_stats by
introducing dump_stats to Qdisc_ops. I ported your requeues patch
and added a missing update in SFQ qdisc. I will send those changes
once these have been approved. I will do the same for classes
and classifiers, although we will have to talk about it a little
as soon as you feel better again. I guess the classifier part will
involve changing the action code.

Right, same for the cbq fix I sent a bit later which I have no clue how it is
possible that such a major bug can live for so long, I've been triggering
this bug for over 3 years and didn't notice anything until now :->
