[ Upstream commit 38b4f18d56372e1e21771ab7b0357b853330186c ]
gred_change_table_def() takes a pointer to TCA_GRED_DPS attribute, and expects it will be able to interpret its contents as struct tc_gred_sopt. Pass the correct gred attribute, instead of TCA_OPTIONS.
This bug meant the table definition could never be changed after Qdisc was initialized (unless whatever TCA_OPTIONS contained both passed netlink validation and was a valid struct tc_gred_sopt...).
Old behaviour: $ ip link add type dummy $ tc qdisc replace dev dummy0 parent root handle 7: \ gred setup vqs 4 default 0 $ tc qdisc replace dev dummy0 parent root handle 7: \ gred setup vqs 4 default 0 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
Now: $ ip link add type dummy $ tc qdisc replace dev dummy0 parent root handle 7: \ gred setup vqs 4 default 0 $ tc qdisc replace dev dummy0 parent root handle 7: \ gred setup vqs 4 default 0 $ tc qdisc replace dev dummy0 parent root handle 7: \ gred setup vqs 4 default 0
