The "noqueue" qdisc can either be directly attached, or get default attached if net_device priv_flags has IFF_NO_QUEUE. In both cases, the allocated Qdisc structure gets it's enqueue function pointer reset to NULL by noqueue_init() via noqueue_qdisc_ops. This is a common case for software virtual net_devices. For these devices with no-queue, the transmission path in __dev_queue_xmit() will bypass the qdisc layer. Directly invoking device drivers ndo_start_xmit (via dev_hard_start_xmit). In this mode the device driver is not allowed to ask for packets to be queued (either via returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY or stopping the TXQ). The simplest and most reliable way to identify this no-queue case is by checking if enqueue == NULL. The vrf driver currently open-codes this check (!qdisc->enqueue). While functionally correct, this low-level detail is better encapsulated in a dedicated helper for clarity and long-term maintainability. To make this behavior more explicit and reusable, this patch introduce a new helper: qdisc_txq_has_no_queue(). Helper will also be used by the veth driver in the next patch, which introduces optional qdisc-based backpressure. This is a non-functional change.

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 reStructuredText 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.
