net: sched: avoid qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() vs dequeue race for lockless qdiscs

2026-04-18T08:33:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7f083faf59d14c04e01ec05a7507f036c965acf8 ] When shrinking the number of real tx queues, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() calls qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() to flush qdiscs for queues which will no longer be used. qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() currently serializes qdisc_reset() with qdisc_lock(). However, for lockless qdiscs, the dequeue path is serialized by qdisc_run_begin/end() using qdisc->seqlock instead, so qdisc_reset() can run concurrently with __qdisc_run() and free skbs while they are still being dequeued, leading to UAF. This can easily be reproduced on e.g. virtio-net by imposing heavy traffic while frequently changing the number of queue pairs: iperf3 -ub0 -c $peer -t 0 & while :; do ethtool -L eth0 combined 1 ethtool -L eth0 combined 2 done With KASAN enabled, this leads to reports like: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __qdisc_run+0x133f/0x1760 ...

net_sched: Flush gso_skb list too during ->change()

2025-05-22T12:08:22+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2d3cbfd6d54a2c39ce3244f33f85c595844bd7b8 ] Previously, when reducing a qdisc's limit via the ->change() operation, only the main skb queue was trimmed, potentially leaving packets in the gso_skb list. This could result in NULL pointer dereference when we only check sch->limit against sch->q.qlen. This patch introduces a new helper, qdisc_dequeue_internal(), which ensures both the gso_skb list and the main queue are properly flushed when trimming excess packets. All relevant qdiscs (codel, fq, fq_codel, fq_pie, hhf, pie) are updated to use this helper in their ->change() routines.

net/sched: accept TCA_STAB only for root qdisc

[ Upstream commit 3cb7cf1540ddff5473d6baeb530228d19bc97b8a ] Most qdiscs maintain their backlog using qdisc_pkt_len(skb) on the assumption it is invariant between the enqueue() and dequeue() handlers.

[ Upstream commit 3a415d59c1dbec9d772dbfab2d2520d98360caae ] syzbot reported a nasty crash [1] in net_tx_action() which made little sense until we got a repro. This repro installs a taprio qdisc, but providing an invalid TCA_RATE attribute. qdisc_create() has to destroy the just initialized taprio qdisc, and taprio_destroy() is called. However, the hrtimer used by taprio had already fired, therefore advance_sched() called __netif_schedule(). Then net_tx_action was trying to use a destroyed qdisc. We can not undo the __netif_schedule(), so we must wait until one cpu serviced the qdisc before we can proceed. Many thanks to Alexander Potapenko for his help.

net: sched: add barrier to fix packet stuck problem for lockless qdisc

2022-06-14T16:36:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2e8728c955ce0624b958eee6e030a37aca3a5d86 ] In qdisc_run_end(), the spin_unlock() only has store-release semantic, which guarantees all earlier memory access are visible before it. But the subsequent test_bit() has no barrier semantics so may be reordered ahead of the spin_unlock(). The store-load reordering may cause a packet stuck problem. The concurrent operations can be described as below, CPU 0 | CPU 1 qdisc_run_end() | qdisc_run_begin() . | . ----> /* may be reorderd here */ | . | . | . | spin_unlock() | set_bit() | . | smp_mb__after_atomic() ---- test_bit() | spin_trylock() . | . Consider the following sequence of events: CPU 0 reorder test_bit() ahead and see MISSED = 0 CPU 1 calls set_bit() CPU 1 calls spin_trylock() and return fail CPU 0 executes spin_unlock() At the end of the sequence, CPU 0 calls spin_unlock() and does nothing because it see MISSED = 0. The skb on CPU 1 has beed enqueued but no one take it, until the next cpu pushing to the qdisc (if ever ...) will notice and dequeue it. This patch fix this by adding one explicit barrier. As spin_unlock() and test_bit() ordering is a store-load ordering, a full memory barrier smp_mb() is needed here.

net: sched: fixed barrier to prevent skbuff sticking in qdisc backlog

2022-06-14T16:36:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit a54ce3703613e41fe1d98060b62ec09a3984dc28 ] In qdisc_run_begin(), smp_mb__before_atomic() used before test_bit() does not provide any ordering guarantee as test_bit() is not an atomic operation. This, added to the fact that the spin_trylock() call at the beginning of qdisc_run_begin() does not guarantee acquire semantics if it does not grab the lock, makes it possible for the following statement : if (test_bit(__QDISC_STATE_MISSED, &qdisc->state)) to be executed before an enqueue operation called before qdisc_run_begin(). As a result the following race can happen : CPU 1 CPU 2 qdisc_run_begin() qdisc_run_begin() /* true */ set(MISSED) . /* returns false */ . . /* sees MISSED = 1 */ . /* so qdisc not empty */ . __qdisc_run() . . . pfifo_fast_dequeue() ----> /* may be done here */ . | . clear(MISSED) | . . | . smp_mb __after_atomic(); | . . | . /* recheck the queue */ | . /* nothing => exit */ | enqueue(skb1) | . | qdisc_run_begin() | . | spin_trylock() /* fail */ | . | smp_mb__before_atomic() /* not enough */ | . ---- if (test_bit(MISSED)) return false; /* exit */ In the above scenario, CPU 1 and CPU 2 both try to grab the qdisc->seqlock at the same time. Only CPU 2 succeeds and enters the bypass code path, where it emits its skb then calls __qdisc_run(). CPU1 fails, sets MISSED and goes down the traditionnal enqueue() + dequeue() code path. But when executing qdisc_run_begin() for the second time, after enqueuing its skbuff, it sees the MISSED bit still set (by itself) and consequently chooses to exit early without setting it again nor trying to grab the spinlock again. Meanwhile CPU2 has seen MISSED = 1, cleared it, checked the queue and found it empty, so it returned. At the end of the sequence, we end up with skb1 enqueued in the backlog, both CPUs out of __dev_xmit_skb(), the MISSED bit not set, and no __netif_schedule() called made. skb1 will now linger in the qdisc until somebody later performs a full __qdisc_run(). Associated to the bypass capacity of the qdisc, and the ability of the TCP layer to avoid resending packets which it knows are still in the qdisc, this can lead to serious traffic "holes" in a TCP connection. We fix this by replacing the smp_mb__before_atomic() / test_bit() / set_bit() / smp_mb__after_atomic() sequence inside qdisc_run_begin() by a single test_and_set_bit() call, which is more concise and enforces the needed memory barriers.

net_sched: restore "mpu xxx" handling

2022-01-27T10:05:40+00:00

commit fb80445c438c78b40b547d12b8d56596ce4ccfeb upstream. commit 56b765b79e9a ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") broke "overhead X", "linklayer atm" and "mpu X" attributes. "overhead X" and "linklayer atm" have already been fixed. This restores the "mpu X" handling, as might be used by DOCSIS or Ethernet shaping: tc class add ... htb rate X overhead 4 mpu 64 The code being fixed is used by htb, tbf and act_police. Cake has its own mpu handling. qdisc_calculate_pkt_len still uses the size table containing values adjusted for mpu by user space. iproute2 tc has always passed mpu into the kernel via a tc_ratespec structure, but the kernel never directly acted on it, merely stored it so that it could be read back by `tc class show`. Rather, tc would generate length-to-time tables that included the mpu (and linklayer) in their construction, and the kernel used those tables. Since v3.7, the tables were no longer used. Along with "mpu", this also broke "overhead" and "linklayer" which were fixed in 01cb71d2d47b ("net_sched: restore "overhead xxx" handling", v3.10) and 8a8e3d84b171 ("net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling", v3.11). "overhead" was fixed by simply restoring use of tc_ratespec::overhead - this had originally been used by the kernel but was initially omitted from the new non-table-based calculations. "linklayer" had been handled in the table like "mpu", but the mode was not originally passed in tc_ratespec. The new implementation was made to handle it by getting new versions of tc to pass the mode in an extended tc_ratespec, and for older versions of tc the table contents were analysed at load time to deduce linklayer. As "mpu" has always been given to the kernel in tc_ratespec, accompanying the mpu-based table, we can restore system functionality with no userspace change by making the kernel act on the tc_ratespec value.

net/sched: Extend qdisc control block with tc control block

2022-01-05T11:42:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit ec624fe740b416fb68d536b37fb8eef46f90b5c2 ] BPF layer extends the qdisc control block via struct bpf_skb_data_end and because of that there is no more room to add variables to the qdisc layer control block without going over the skb->cb size. Extend the qdisc control block with a tc control block, and move all tc related variables to there as a pre-step for extending the tc control block with additional members.

net: sched: update default qdisc visibility after Tx queue cnt changes

2021-11-18T18:16:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1e080f17750d1083e8a32f7b350584ae1cd7ff20 ] mq / mqprio make the default child qdiscs visible. They only do so for the qdiscs which are within real_num_tx_queues when the device is registered. Depending on order of calls in the driver, or if user space changes config via ethtool -L the number of qdiscs visible under tc qdisc show will differ from the number of queues. This is confusing to users and potentially to system configuration scripts which try to make sure qdiscs have the right parameters. Add a new Qdisc_ops callback and make relevant qdiscs TTRT. Note that this uncovers the "shortcut" created by commit 1f27cde313d7 ("net: sched: use pfifo_fast for non real queues") The default child qdiscs beyond initial real_num_tx are always pfifo_fast, no matter what the sysfs setting is. Fixing this gets a little tricky because we'd need to keep a reference on whatever the default qdisc was at the time of creation. In practice this is likely an non-issue the qdiscs likely have to be configured to non-default settings, so whatever user space is doing such configuration can replace the pfifos... now that it will see them.
