No. I tried with and without multiple times: I built, installed, manually unloaded the module, made sure it was unloaded, loaded the new build; just to make sure as I noticed the module doesn’t print anything in dmesg when it’s loaded (feature request: print the current build version when loading, that would be most helpful in these circumstances).

There is absolutely no doubt that on my router, with this commit CAKE is broken, without it isn’t.

Here’s tc -s output with the broken version:
