[patch 17/57] pkt_sched: sch_generic: Fix oops in sch_teql

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Nov 04 2008 - 18:43:41 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9f3ffae0dbce491a3e9871b686342fd5aa854f05 ]

After these commands:
# modprobe sch_teql
# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root teql0
# tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
we get an oops in teql_destroy() when spin_lock is taken from a null
qdisc_sleeping pointer. It's because at the moment teql0 dev haven't
been activated yet, and a qdisc_root_sleeping() is pointing to noop
qdisc's netdev_queue with qdisc_sleeping uninitialized. This patch
fixes this both for noop and noqueue netdev_queues to avoid similar
problems in the future.
