Re: [PATCH net] net: sched: check netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() in sch_direct_xmit()

Summary:

At the end of sch_direct_xmit(), we are in the else path of
!dev_xmit_complete(ret), which means ret == NETDEV_TX_OK. The following
condition will always fail and netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() is not
checked at all.

    if (ret && netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped(txq))
         return false;

In this patch, this condition is fixed as:

    if (netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped(txq))
         return false;

and further simplifies the code as:

    return !netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped(txq);

I expect a new version of this patch which removes the test entirely.
