This actually makes more sense also now that you pointed out that AVB mode is set on the ingress, not egress, port: configuring CBS should stay out of setting any of the AVB mode bits. Are you planning to submit a MQPRIO patch? If not, shall I just wait for your CBS patch to land, and then rebase my AVB patch series on top of net-next?

We have different use cases: yours (as I understand it) is host-initiated traffic with as many queues as the hardware supports, and mine is hardware offloaded AVB switching with (essentially) three TCs (one queue per AVB TC). It would be great to find a solution that can support both.

Cheers,
Luke
