commit f995e708c778d5c3201d769ffae636f6941654ed Author: Patrick McHardy Date: Mon Nov 24 13:13:16 2008 +0100 pkt_sched: sch_drr: fix drr_dequeue loop() Jarek Poplawski points out: If all child qdiscs of sch_drr are non-work-conserving (e.g. sch_tbf) drr_dequeue() will busy-loop waiting for skbs instead of leaving the job for a watchdog. Checking for list_empty() in each loop isn't necessary either, because this can never be true except the first time. Using non-work-conserving qdiscs as children of DRR makes no sense, simply bail out in that case.
