Hmm, nothing apart from using the classifiers in an unexpected (by me)
way ;)

Basically, what is happening is that the skbedit filter doesn't do
classification. In which case Cake will cheerfully drop the packet.

I just pushed a change to the upstream-4.18 branch which reworks the
filter classification so it'll still hash packets if the filter doesn't
make a decision, and also moves the tin selection to after the filter
has run, to give priority selection a chance to work (even if the
packets had not been dropped, you wouldn't have gotten the result you
wanted, since the skb->priority field was checked before the filters we
run...)

Please see if that works better :)
