Several qdiscs check on enqueue whether the packet was enqueued to a class with an empty queue, in which case the class is activated. This is done by checking if the qlen is exactly 1 after enqueue. However, if GSO splitting is enabled in the child qdisc, a single packet can result in a qlen longer than 1. This means the activation check fails, leading to a stalled queue. Fix this by checking if the queue is empty *before* enqueue, and running the activation logic if this was the case.

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 Restructured Text 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.
