Since stats updating is always consistent with TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag, we can disable it at qdisc creation time flipping such bit. In my experiments, if the NOLOCK flag is cleared, per CPU stats accounting does not give any measurable performance gain, but it waste some memory. Let's clear TCQ_F_CPUSTATS together with NOLOCK, when enslaving a NOLOCK qdisc to 'lock' one. Use stats update helper inside pfifo_fast, to cope correctly with TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag change. As a side effect, q.qlen value for any child qdiscs is always consistent for all lock classfull qdiscs. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
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.
