Subject[PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 82/93] net: sched: do not requeue a NULL skb
Date
4.2.8-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Lars Persson <lars.persson@axis.com>

commit 3dcd493fbebfd631913df6e2773cc295d3bf7d22 upstream.

A failure in validate_xmit_skb_list() triggered an unconditional call
to dev_requeue_skb with skb=NULL. This slowly grows the queue
discipline's qlen count until all traffic through the queue stops.

We take the optimistic approach and continue running the queue after a
failure since it is unknown if later packets also will fail in the
validate path.

Fixes: 55a93b3ea780 ("qdisc: validate skb without holding lock")
