4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7e85dc8cb35abf16455f1511f0670b57c1a84608 ] When blackhole is used on top of classful qdisc like hfsc it breaks qlen and backlog counters because packets are disappear without notice. In HFSC non-zero qlen while all classes are inactive triggers warning: WARNING: ... at net/sched/sch_hfsc.c:1393 hfsc_dequeue+0xba4/0xe90 [sch_hfsc] and schedules watchdog work endlessly. This patch return __NET_XMIT_BYPASS in addition to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS, this flag tells upper layer: this packet is gone and isn't queued.
