Daniel Borkmann a2de651e64 ingress, clsact: don't add TCA_OPTIONS to nl msg
In ingress and clsact qdisc TCA_OPTIONS are ignored, since it's
parameterless. In tc, we add an empty addattr_l(... TCA_OPTIONS,
NULL, 0) to the netlink message nevertheless. This has the
side effect that when someone tries a 'tc qdisc replace' and
already an existing such qdisc is present, tc fails with
EINVAL here.

Reason is that in the kernel, this invokes qdisc_change() when
such requested qdisc is already present. When TCA_OPTIONS are
passed to modify parameters, it looks whether qdisc implements
.change() callback, and if not present (like in both cases here)
it returns with error. Rather than adding an empty stub to the
kernel that ignores TCA_OPTIONS again, just don't add TCA_OPTIONS
to the netlink message in the first place.

Before:

  # tc qdisc replace dev foo clsact    # first try
  # tc qdisc replace dev foo clsact    # second one
  RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

After:

  # tc qdisc replace dev foo clsact
  # tc qdisc replace dev foo clsact
  # tc qdisc replace dev foo clsact

This is a set of utilities for Linux networking.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
