      pkt_sched: Control group classifier · f4009237
      Thomas Graf authored
      The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work
      without any special configuration.
      
      The principle of the classifier is to directly access the
      task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work,
      classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is
      not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq
      context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a
      mechanism is needed to trace softirq context. 
      
      This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of
      nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much
      complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable
      if actually needed.
