Subject: [PATCH net-next V2 2/2] net: sched: generalize check for no-op qdisc
Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2025 17:31:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <174412628464.3702169.81132659219041209.stgit@firesoul> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <174412623473.3702169.4235683143719614624.stgit@firesoul>
Several drivers (e.g., veth, vrf) contain open-coded checks to determine
whether a TX queue has a real qdisc attached - typically by testing if
qdisc->enqueue is non-NULL.
These checks are functionally equivalent to comparing the queue's qdisc
pointer against &noop_qdisc (qdisc named "noqueue"). This equivalence
stems from noqueue_init(), which explicitly clears the enqueue pointer
for the "noqueue" qdisc. As a result, __dev_queue_xmit() treats the qdisc
as a no-op only when enqueue == NULL.
This patch introduces a common helper, qdisc_txq_is_noop() to standardize
this check. The helper is added in sch_generic.h and replaces open-coded
logic in both the veth and vrf drivers.
This is a non-functional change.
