Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 7/7] net/sched: taprio: replace safety precautions with comments

The WARN_ON_ONCE() checks introduced in commit 13511704f8d7 ("net:
taprio offload: enforce qdisc to netdev queue mapping") take a small
toll on performance, but otherwise, the conditions are never expected to
happen. Replace them with comments, such that the information is still
conveyed to developers.

Another option is DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() FWIW, you probably know..

I meant as a way of retaining the sanity check, a bare:

DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED(q->flags));

no other handling. Not sure how much sense it makes here,
it's best suited as syzbot fodder, perhaps the combination
with offload is pointless.

Just for replacing WARN_ON_ONCE(), yes, maybe, but when you factor in
that the code also had calls to qdisc_drop(), I suppose you meant
replacing it with something like this?

if (DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(unlikely(FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED(q->flags))))
return qdisc_drop(skb, sch, to_free);

This won't work because DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() force-casts WARN_ON_ONCE()
to void, discarding its evaluated value.

We'd be left with something custom like below:

if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_NET) && unlikely(FULL_OFFLOAD_IS_ENABLED(q->flags))) {
WARN_ONCE(1, "Trying to enqueue skb into the root of a taprio qdisc configured with full offload\n");
return qdisc_drop(skb, sch, to_free);
}

which may work, but it's so odd looking that it's just not worth the
trouble, I feel?
