[PATCH 5.12 244/296] net: sched: fix tx action reschedule issue with stopped queue

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Yunsheng Lin <linyunsheng@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dcad9ee9e0663d74a89b25b987f9c7be86432812 ]

The netdev qeueue might be stopped when byte queue limit has
reached or tx hw ring is full, net_tx_action() may still be
rescheduled if STATE_MISSED is set, which consumes unnecessary
cpu without dequeuing and transmiting any skb because the
netdev queue is stopped, see qdisc_run_end().

This patch fixes it by checking the netdev queue state before
calling qdisc_run() and clearing STATE_MISSED if netdev queue is
stopped during qdisc_run(), the net_tx_action() is rescheduled
again when netdev qeueue is restarted, see netif_tx_wake_queue().

As there is time window between netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped()
checking and STATE_MISSED clearing, between which STATE_MISSED
may set by net_tx_action() scheduled by netif_tx_wake_queue(),
so set the STATE_MISSED again if netdev queue is restarted.

Fixes: 6b3ba9146fe6 ("net: sched: allow qdiscs to handle locking")
