They pass, with one change to the drop below.

This also dropped on legitimate stack moves: the next skbs, queued
behind the first one on the new TX queue, hold sk_wmem_alloc when it
reaches the driver. So a move that the TX queue selection allows, only
while nothing else of the socket is in flight, now hands over the new
TX queue right there, and the check at xmit is left for skbs that
bypass the selection, like tc skbedit. No drops without forced moves
now.

I'll share my patches shortly.

Thanks,
