Yes, the above does seems to have the above data race.
As my understanding, there is two ways to fix the above data race:
1. do not clear the STATE_MISSED for netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped()
case, just check the netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() before
calling __netif_schedule() at the end of qdisc_run_end(). This seems
to only work with qdisc with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE flag because it seems
we can only check the netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() with q->dev_queue,
I am not sure q->dev_queue is pointint to which netdev queue when qdisc
is not set with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE flag.
2. clearing the STATE_MISSED for netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() case
as this patch does, and protect the __netif_schedule() with q->seqlock
for netif_tx_wake_queue(), which might bring unnecessary overhead for
non-stopped queue case
Any better idea?
