Frederick Lawler 96398560f2 net: sched: disallow noqueue for qdisc classes
While experimenting with applying noqueue to a classful queue discipline,
we discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the __dev_queue_xmit()
path that generates a kernel OOPS:

    # dev=enp0s5
    # tc qdisc replace dev $dev root handle 1: htb default 1
    # tc class add dev $dev parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 10mbit
    # tc qdisc add dev $dev parent 1:1 handle 10: noqueue
    # ping -I $dev -w 1 -c 1 1.1.1.1

Previously in commit d66d6c3152 ("net: sched: register noqueue
qdisc"), NULL was set for the noqueue discipline on noqueue init
so that __dev_queue_xmit() falls through for the noqueue case. This
also sets a bypass of the enqueue NULL check in the
register_qdisc() function for the struct noqueue_disc_ops.

Classful queue disciplines make it past the NULL check in
__dev_queue_xmit() because the discipline is set to htb (in this case),
and then in the call to __dev_xmit_skb(), it calls into htb_enqueue()
which grabs a leaf node for a class and then calls qdisc_enqueue() by
passing in a queue discipline which assumes ->enqueue() is not set to NULL.

Fix this by not allowing classes to be assigned to the noqueue
discipline. Linux TC Notes states that classes cannot be set to
the noqueue discipline. [1] Let's enforce that here.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
