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

(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.

Sorry for not testing before. I forgot that the chain->refcnt was
increased by 1 when tcf_chain_get() is called in tc_del_tfilter().
The value of chain->refcnt is 2 after chain flush. The test
result is as follows:
[root@localhost ~]# tc qdisc add dev eth2 root handle 1: htb default 1
[root@localhost ~]# tc chain add dev eth2
[root@localhost ~]# tc filter del dev eth2 chain 0 parent 1: prio 0
[root@localhost ~]# tc filter add dev eth2 chain 0 parent 1:
Error: Filter kind and protocol must be specified.
We have an error talking to the kernel

And I have add this test to tdc:
[root@localhost tc-testing]# ./tdc.py -f tc-tests/filters/tests.json
ok 7 c2b4 - Adding a new fiter after deleting a filter in a chain does
not cause an infinite loop
