[PATCH v2 net 6/7] net/sched: taprio: fix q->current_entry is NULL before its expiry

From: Faizal Rahim
Date: Tue Nov 07 2023 - 06:22:35 EST


Fix the issue of prematurely setting q->current_entry to NULL in the
setup_first_end_time() function when a new admin schedule arrives
while the oper schedule is still running but hasn't transitioned yet.
This premature setting causes problems because any reference to
q->current_entry, such as in taprio_dequeue(), will result in NULL
during this period, which is incorrect. q->current_entry should remain
valid until the currently running entry expires.

To address this issue, only set q->current_entry to NULL when there is
no oper schedule currently running.
