From 34dd0fecaa02d654c447d43a7e4c72f9b18b7033 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 16:55:31 +0200 Subject: net: sched: generalize check for no-queue qdisc on TX queue MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The "noqueue" qdisc can either be directly attached, or get default attached if net_device priv_flags has IFF_NO_QUEUE. In both cases, the allocated Qdisc structure gets it's enqueue function pointer reset to NULL by noqueue_init() via noqueue_qdisc_ops. This is a common case for software virtual net_devices. For these devices with no-queue, the transmission path in __dev_queue_xmit() will bypass the qdisc layer. Directly invoking device drivers ndo_start_xmit (via dev_hard_start_xmit). In this mode the device driver is not allowed to ask for packets to be queued (either via returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or stopping the TXQ). The simplest and most reliable way to identify this no-queue case is by checking if enqueue == NULL. The vrf driver currently open-codes this check (!qdisc->enqueue). While functionally correct, this low-level detail is better encapsulated in a dedicated helper for clarity and long-term maintainability. To make this behavior more explicit and reusable, this patch introduce a new helper: qdisc_txq_has_no_queue(). Helper will also be used by the veth driver in the next patch, which introduces optional qdisc-based backpressure. This is a non-functional change.
