Sure, here is a scenario:

cpu1					cpu2
rtnl_lock()
qdisc_graft()
// parent != NULL
->cops-graft()
notify_and_destroy()			qdisc_run()
					spin_lock(root_lock)
qdisc_destroy(old)			dequeue_skb()
					tbf_dequeue()
					qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen()	
					qdisc_lookup()
//deleting from qdisc_sleeping->list	//walking qdisc_sleeping->list
//under rtnl_lock() only		//under qdisc root_lock only
list_del(qdisc->list)			list_for_each_entry(txq_root)
