[ Upstream commit 43eb466041216d25dedaef1c383ad7bd89929cbc ]
Gerrard Tai reported a race condition in TBF, whenever SFQ perturb timer fires at the wrong time.
The race is as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1 [1]: lock root [2]: qdisc_tree_flush_backlog() [3]: unlock root | | [5]: lock root | [6]: rehash | [7]: qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() | [4]: qdisc_put()
This can be abused to underflow a parent's qlen.
Calling qdisc_purge_queue() instead of qdisc_tree_flush_backlog() should fix the race, because all packets will be purged from the qdisc before releasing the lock.
