This seems a little risky.  I can't point to a specific deadlock but
it doesn't seem right on general principles to unlock in a different
order than you nested the locks when acquiring them -- if I understand
correctly, you're suggesting lock(queue_lock), lock(tx_lock),
unlock(queue_lock), unlock(tx_lock).

Thanks,
  Roland
