When a new chain is added by using tc, one soft lockup alarm will be

the problem, perform the following steps:
(1) tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 1
(2) tc chain add dev eth0
(3) tc filter del dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1: prio 0
(4) tc filter add dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1:

This seems like it could be added to tdc or 3 and 4 must be run in parallel?
3 and 4 do not need to be run inparallel. When a new chain is added by the
way as step 1 and the step 3 is completed, this problem always occurs
whenever step 4 is run.

Got it,
The test still hangs with the provided patch.

+ tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: htb default 1
+ tc chain add dev lo
+ tc filter del dev lo chain 0 parent 1: prio 0
[ 68.790030][ T6704] [+]
[ 68.790060][ T6704] chain refcnt 2
[ 68.790951][ T6704] [-]
+ tc filter add dev lo chain 0 parent 1:
<hangs>

Also please add this test to tdc, it should be straightforward.



The refcnt of the chain added by step 2 is equal to 1. After step 3,
the flushing flag of the chain is set to true in the tcf_chain_flush()
called by tc_del_tfilter() because the prio is 0. In this case, if
we add a new filter to this chain, it will never succeed and try again
and again because the refresh flash is always true and refcnt is 1.
A soft lock alarm is generated 20 seconds later.
The stack is show as below:

To avoid this case, set chain->flushing to be false if the chain->refcnt
is 1 after flushing the chain when prio is 0.
