It seems so.
Maybe another patch to remove qdisc_lock(qdisc) for lockless
qdisc?

The reference to the txq->qdisc is always protected by RCU, so the synchronize_net()
should be enought to ensure there is no skb enqueued to the old qdisc that is saved
in the dev_queue->qdisc_sleeping, because __dev_queue_xmit can only see the new qdisc
after synchronize_net(), which is noop_qdisc, and noop_qdisc will make sure any skb
enqueued to it will be dropped and freed, right?

If we do any additional reset that is not related to qdisc in dev_reset_queue(), we
can move it after some_qdisc_is_busy() checking.

Also, it seems the __QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED checking in qdisc_run() is unnecessary
after this patch, because after synchronize_net() qdisc_run() will now see the old
qdisc.

static inline void qdisc_run(struct Qdisc *q)
{
if (qdisc_run_begin(q)) {
/* NOLOCK qdisc must check 'state' under the qdisc seqlock
* to avoid racing with dev_qdisc_reset()
*/
if (!(q->flags & TCQ_F_NOLOCK) ||
likely(!test_bit(__QDISC_STATE_DEACTIVATED, &q->state)))
__qdisc_run(q);
qdisc_run_end(q);
}
}
