====================
sched: refactor NOLOCK qdiscs
With the introduction of NOLOCK qdiscs, pfifo_fast performances in the
uncontended scenario degraded measurably, especially after the commit
eb82a9944792 ("net: sched, fix OOO packets with pfifo_fast").
This series restore the pfifo_fast performances in such scenario back the
previous level, mainly reducing the number of atomic operations required to
perform the qdisc_run() call. Even performances in the contended scenario
increase measurably.
Note: This series is on top of:
sched: manipulate __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING in qdisc_run_* helpers

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
