This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/sched: cls_api: Fix lockup on flushing explicitly created chain to the 6.3-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-sched-cls_api-fix-lockup-on-flushing-explicitly-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 27bc6162d71ccfbe9cb7494cb933bd4671195381 Author: Vlad Buslov <vladbu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 12 11:34:26 2023 +0200 net/sched: cls_api: Fix lockup on flushing explicitly created chain [ Upstream commit c9a82bec02c339cdda99b37c5e62b3b71fc4209c ] Mingshuai Ren reports: When a new chain is added by using tc, one soft lockup alarm will be generated after delete the prio 0 filter of the chain. To reproduce the problem, perform the following steps: (1) tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 1 (2) tc chain add dev eth0 (3) tc filter del dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1: prio 0 (4) tc filter add dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1: Fix the issue by accounting for additional reference to chains that are explicitly created by RTM_NEWCHAIN message as opposed to implicitly by RTM_NEWTFILTER message.
