mainlining shenanigans
ca49bfd90a
In HTB offload mode, qdiscs of leaf classes are grafted to netdev
queues. sch_htb expects the dev_queue field of these qdiscs to point to
the corresponding queues. However, qdisc creation may fail, and in that
case noop_qdisc is used instead. Its dev_queue doesn't point to the
right queue, so sch_htb can lose track of used netdev queues, which will
cause internal inconsistencies.
This commit fixes this bug by keeping track of the netdev queue inside
struct htb_class. All reads of cl->leaf.q->dev_queue are replaced by the
new field, the two values are synced on writes, and WARNs are added to
assert equality of the two values.
The driver API has changed: when TC_HTB_LEAF_DEL needs to move a queue,
the driver used to pass the old and new queue IDs to sch_htb. Now that
there is a new field (offload_queue) in struct htb_class that needs to
be updated on this operation, the driver will pass the old class ID to
sch_htb instead (it already knows the new class ID).

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.
