The qdisc stats are taken from the port's periodic HW stats, which are
updated once a second. We try to accommodate the latency by using busywait
in build_backlog().
The issue in that seems to be that when do_mark_test() builds the backlog,
it makes the decision whether to send more packets based on the first
instance of the queue depth stat exceeding the current value, when in fact
more traffic is on the way and the queue depth would increase further. This
leads to failures in TC 1 of mark-mirror test, where we see the following
failure:
TEST: TC 0: marked packets mirror'd [ OK ]
TEST: TC 1: marked packets mirror'd [FAIL]
Spurious packets (1680 -> 2290) observed without buffer pressure
Fix by waiting for the full second before reading the queue depth for the
first time, to make sure it reflects all in-flight traffic.

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.
