The problem is: in ets_qdisc_change()\nwe purge unused DWRR queues; the value of 'q->nbands' is the new one, and\nthe cleanup should be done with the old one. The problem is here since my\nfirst attempts to fix ets_qdisc_change(), but it surfaced again after the\nrecent qdisc len accounting fixes. Fix it purging idle DWRR queues before\nassigning a new value of 'q->nbands', so that all purge operations find a\nconsistent configuration:\n\n - old 'q->nbands' because it's needed by ets_class_find()\n - old 'q->nstrict' because it's needed by ets_class_is_strict()\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n PGD 0 P4D 0\n Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI\n CPU: 62 UID: 0 PID: 39457 Comm: tc Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.12.0-116.el10.x86_64 #1 PREEMPT(voluntary)\n Hardware name: Dell Inc.
