Paolo Abeni cd23e77e65 Merge branch 'net_sched-make-qlen_notify-idempotent'
Cong Wang says:

====================
net_sched: make ->qlen_notify() idempotent

Gerrard reported a vulnerability exists in fq_codel where manipulating
the MTU can cause codel_dequeue() to drop all packets. The parent qdisc's
sch->q.qlen is only updated via ->qlen_notify() if the fq_codel queue
remains non-empty after the drops. This discrepancy in qlen between
fq_codel and its parent can lead to a use-after-free condition.

Let's fix this by making all existing ->qlen_notify() idempotent so that
the sch->q.qlen check will be no longer necessary.

Patch 1~5 make all existing ->qlen_notify() idempotent to prepare for
patch 6 which removes the sch->q.qlen check. They are followed by 5
selftests for each type of Qdisc's we touch here.

All existing and new Qdisc selftests pass after this patchset.

Fixes: 4b549a2ef4 ("fq_codel: Fair Queue Codel AQM")
Fixes: 76e3cc126b ("codel: Controlled Delay AQM")

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.
