[ Upstream commit d92adacdd8c2960be856e0b82acc5b7c5395fddb ]
Gerrard Tai reported a race condition in ETS, 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.
Fixes: b05972f01e7d ("net: sched: tbf: don't call qdisc_put() while holding tree lock") Reported-by: Gerrard Tai gerrard.tai@starlabs.sg Suggested-by: Gerrard Tai gerrard.tai@starlabs.sg Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet edumazet@google.com Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250611111515.1983366-5-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin sashal@kernel.org --- net/sched/sch_ets.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
