Merge branch 'sched-refactor-NOLOCK-qdiscs'
Paolo Abeni says: ==================== sched: refactor NOLOCK qdiscs With the introduction of NOLOCK qdiscs, pfifo_fast performances in the uncontended scenario degraded measurably, especially after the commit eb82a994 ("net: sched, fix OOO packets with pfifo_fast"). This series restore the pfifo_fast performances in such scenario back the previous level, mainly reducing the number of atomic operations required to perform the qdisc_run() call. Even performances in the contended scenario increase measurably. Note: This series is on top of: sched: manipulate __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING in qdisc_run_* helpers ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
