3.16.83-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d9e15a2733067c9328fb56d98fe8e574fa19ec31 upstream. As diagnosed by Florian : If TCA_FQ_QUANTUM is set to 0x80000000, fq_deueue() can loop forever in : if (f->credit <= 0) { f->credit += q->quantum; goto begin; } ... because f->credit is either 0 or -2147483648. Let's limit TCA_FQ_QUANTUM to no more than 1 << 20 : This max value should limit risks of breaking user setups while fixing this bug.
