Isn't a very large fraction of outgoing network traffic driven from net_tx_action(), which doesn't execute in the context of the sending process? Or am I missing something?
You claimed "In the most common case, the packet is not queued before it hits the qdisc so this takes away a lot of complexity and is very fast but should still be sufficient.". But is that really true on a system where the network is busy? (Which is after all exactly the case where you care about accurate traffic accounting/policing)
