[This patch received positive feedback from Stephen Hemminger ("put in
net-next"), but no further feedback or decision. So I am (re)sending
an updated version of it. The only differences with respect to the
previous version are the support for TSO/GSO (taken from QFQ), and a
hopefully improved description.]

Can you rearrange the logic so that the compiler doesn't emit this
warning?

In file included from net/sched/sch_qfq.c:18:0:
net/sched/sch_qfq.c: In function ʽqfq_dequeueʼ:
include/net/sch_generic.h:480:15: warning: ʽskbʼ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1007:18: note: ʽskbʼ was declared here

You and I both know that SKB will be initialized at this point, but
the compiler can't see it clearly enough.

Unfortunately I could not reproduce the warning (with
gcc-4.7 -Wmaybe-uninitialized). I am however about to send a new version with skb initialized to NULL. I hope that this fix properly addresses this issue.
Thanks.
