3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 88c2ace69dbef696edba77712882af03879abc9c upstream. The commit below added a call to the ->destroy() callback for all qdiscs which failed in their ->init(), but some were not prepared for such change and can't handle partially initialized qdisc. HTB is one of them and if any error occurs before the qdisc watchdog timer and qdisc work are initialized then we can hit either a null ptr deref (timer->base) when canceling in ->destroy or lockdep error info about trying to register a non-static key and a stack dump. So to fix these two move the watchdog timer and workqueue init before anything that can err out. To reproduce userspace needs to send broken htb qdisc create request, tested with a modified tc (q_htb.c).
