Subject: net_sched: fix pfifo_head_drop behavior vs backlog
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 6c0d54f1897d229748d4f41ef919078db6db2123 ]
When the qdisc is full, we drop a packet at the head of the queue,
queue the current skb and return NET_XMIT_CN
Now we track backlog on upper qdiscs, we need to call
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(), even if the qlen did not change.
Fixes: 2ccccf5fb43f ("net_sched: update hierarchical backlog too")
