4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c8e1812960eeae42e2183154927028511c4bc566 ] SKB stored in qdisc->gso_skb also counted into backlog. Some qdiscs don't reset backlog to zero in ->reset(), for example sfq just dequeue and free all queued skb.
