We have test_and_clear_bit() which is atomic, test_bit()+clear_bit()
is not.

Ditto.

Two concurrent pfifo_fast_dequeue() would possibly retry it at the
same time when they test __QDISC_STATE_MISSED at the same
time and get true. Is this a problem?

Also, any reason why you want pfifo_fast to handle a generic
Qdisc flag? IOW, why not handle this logic in, for example,
qdisc_restart()?

Thanks.
