Lockless qdisc has below another concurrent problem when tx_action is involved: cpu0(serving tx_action) cpu1 cpu2 . . . . q->enqueue . . qdisc_run_begin() . . dequeue_skb() . . . q->enqueue . . . . sch_direct_xmit() . . . qdisc_run_begin() . . return and do nothing . . . clear __QDISC_STATE_SCHED . . qdisc_run_begin() . . return and do nothing . . . . . . qdisc_run_end() . This patch fixes the above data race by: 1. Test STATE_MISSED before doing spin_trylock(). 2. If the first spin_trylock() return false and STATE_MISSED is not set before the first spin_trylock(), Set STATE_MISSED and retry another spin_trylock() in case other CPU may not see STATE_MISSED after it releases the lock. 3. reschedule if STATE_MISSED is set after the lock is released at the end of qdisc_run_end(). For tx_action case, STATE_MISSED is also set when cpu1 is at the end if qdisc_run_end(), so tx_action will be rescheduled again to dequeue the skb enqueued by cpu2. Clear STATE_MISSED before retrying a dequeuing when dequeuing returns NULL in order to reduce the overhead of the above double spin_trylock() and __netif_schedule() calling.
