Paolo Abeni 28cff537ef net: sched: add empty status flag for NOLOCK qdisc
The queue is marked not empty after acquiring the seqlock,
and it's up to the NOLOCK qdisc clearing such flag on dequeue.
Since the empty status lays on the same cache-line of the
seqlock, it's always hot on cache during the updates.

This makes the empty flag update a little bit loosy. Given
the lack of synchronization between enqueue and dequeue, this
is unavoidable.

v2 -> v3:
 - qdisc_is_empty() has a const argument (Eric)

v1 -> v2:
 - use really an 'empty' flag instead of 'not_empty', as
   suggested by Eric

README

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.
