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. Get the flag before doing spin_trylock(). 2. If the first spin_trylock() return false and the flag is not set before the first spin_trylock(), Set the flag and retry another spin_trylock() in case other CPU may not see the new flag after it releases the lock. 3. reschedule if the flags is set after the lock is released at the end of qdisc_run_end(). For tx_action case, the flags 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. Only clear the flag before retrying a dequeuing when dequeuing returns NULL in order to reduce the overhead of the above double spin_trylock() and __netif_schedule() calling.
