I had done some performance test to see if there is value to fix the packet stuck problem and support lockless qdisc bypass, here is some result using pktgen in 'queue_xmit' mode on a dummy device as Paolo Abeni had done in [1], and using pfifo_fast qdisc:

locked-qdisc: test by removing the "TCQ_F_NOLOCK | TCQ_F_CPUSTATS".
I read this as this patch introduces somehow a performance regression for -net, as the lockless bypass patch you submitted is for -net-next.
Thanks.
