+From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
+
+commit 416186fbf8c5b4e4465 ("net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx
+into __netdev_pick_tx") added a bug that disables caching of queue
+index in the socket.
+
+This is the source of packet reorders for TCP flows, and
+again this is happening more often when using FQ pacing.
+
+Old code was doing
+
+if (queue_index != old_index)
+	sk_tx_queue_set(sk, queue_index);
+
+Alexander renamed the variables but forgot to change sk_tx_queue_set()
+2nd parameter.
+
+if (queue_index != new_index)
+	sk_tx_queue_set(sk, queue_index);
+
+This means we store -1 over and over in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping
