From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d518d2ed8640c1cbbbb6f63939e3e65471817367 ] The test implemented by some_qdisc_is_busy() is somewhat loosy for NOLOCK qdisc, as we may hit the following scenario: CPU1 CPU2 // in net_tx_action() clear_bit(__QDISC_STATE_SCHED...); // in some_qdisc_is_busy() val = (qdisc_is_running(q) || test_bit(__QDISC_STATE_SCHED, &q->state)); // here val is 0 but... qdisc_run(q) // ... CPU1 is going to run the qdisc next As a conseguence qdisc_run() in net_tx_action() can race with qdisc_reset() in dev_qdisc_reset(). Such race is not possible for !NOLOCK qdisc as both the above bit operations are under the root qdisc lock(). After commit 021a17ed796b ("pfifo_fast: drop unneeded additional lock on dequeue") the race can cause use after free and/or null ptr dereference, but the root cause is likely older. This patch addresses the issue explicitly checking for deactivation under the seqlock for NOLOCK qdisc, so that the qdisc_run() in the critical scenario becomes a no-op. Note that the enqueue() op can still execute concurrently with dev_qdisc_reset(), but that is safe due to the skb_array() locking, and we can't avoid that for NOLOCK qdiscs.
