Subject: [PATCH 200/354] net: dev: always take qdisc's busylock in
__dev_xmit_skb()
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=15bb3174f03ace026888081b3341bcc51443e15c
The root-lock is dropped before dev_hard_start_xmit() is invoked and after
setting the __QDISC___STATE_RUNNING bit. If this task is now pushed away
by a task with a higher priority then the task with the higher priority
won't be able to submit packets to the NIC directly instead they will be
enqueued into the Qdisc. The NIC will remain idle until the task(s) with
higher priority leave the CPU and the task with lower priority gets back
and finishes the job.
If we take always the busylock we ensure that the RT task can boost the
low-prio task and submit the packet.
