So is this the fix for the issue with TX scheduling you reported
earlier? :)


Actually not. I thought so initially, but then, after a few more test runs,
I was able to run into the issue again.

But it does seem to fix the other issue with the RCU stall since I haven't
seen it with this patch applied (could be just a coincidence though).
