Subject: [take 2] Re: [RFC PATCH] sched: only dequeue if packet can be
queued to hardware queue.
Take 2:
I missed __netif_schedule() in my patch, so the update below.
But, because of this a little change of mind: there is no reason to
repeat __netif_schedule() if there is a full stop or freeze of all
queues, so it seems we need additional check for this anyway. I'll
send my proposal of this test soon.

Actually, here is my suggestion: I think, that your obviously more
complex solution should be compared with something simple which IMHO
has similar feature, i.e. limited overhead of requeuing.
My proposal is to use partly David's idea of killing ->ops->requeue(),
for now only the first two patches, so don't requeue back to the
qdiscs, but leave qdisc->ops->requeue() for internal usage (like in
HFSC's qdisc_peek_len() hack). Additionaly I use your idea of early
checking the state of tx queue to make this even lighter after
possibly removing the entry check from qdisc_run().
I attach my patch at the end, after original David's two patches.
Thanks,
Jarek P.

pkt_sched: Make qdisc->gso_skb a list.
The idea is that we can use this to get rid of
->requeue().

pkt_sched: Always use q->requeue in dev_requeue_skb().
There is no reason to call into the complicated qdiscs
just to remember the last SKB where we found the device
blocked.
The SKB is outside of the qdiscs realm at this point.

----------------> patch 3/3 (take 2)
pkt_sched: Check the state of tx_queue in dequeue_skb()
Check in dequeue_skb() the state of tx_queue for requeued skb to save
on locking and re-requeuing, and possibly remove the current check in
qdisc_run(). Based on the idea of Alexander Duyck.
