Re: [PATCH] net: core: fix unbalanced qdisc_run_begin/qdisc_run_end

Sorry, after analyzing the assembly code of this function,

the semantics of the short circuit, there is no problem in this place.

we will continue to analyze, please ignore this patch, thank you.

---> Those multiple *and conditions* in this if statement are not
necessarily executed sequentially. If the qdisc_run_begin(q)
statement is executed first and the other conditions are not
satisfied, qdisc_run_end will have no chance to be executed,
and the lowest bit of q->running will always be 1.
This may lead to a softlockup:

3658 qdisc_bstats_update(q, skb);

3666 }
3667
3668 qdisc_run_end(q);
3669 rc = NET_XMIT_SUCCESS;

...

We ensure the correct execution order by explicitly
specifying those dependencies.
