This happens\nwhen:\n\n1. one QFQ qdisc is attached to the dev as the root qdisc, and\n\n2. another QFQ qdisc is temporarily referenced (e.g., via qdisc_get()\n/ qdisc_put()) and is pending to be destroyed, as in function\ntc_new_tfilter.\n\nWhen packets are enqueued through the root QFQ qdisc, the shared\nleaf_qdisc->q.qlen increases. At the same time, the second QFQ\nqdisc triggers qdisc_put and qdisc_destroy: the qdisc enters\nqfq_reset() with its own q->q.qlen == 0, but its class's leaf\nqdisc->q.qlen > 0. Therefore, the qfq_reset would wrongly deactivate\nan inactive aggregate and trigger a null-deref in qfq_deactivate_agg:\n\n[ 0.903172] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n[ 0.903571] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode\n[ 0.903860] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page\n[ 0.904177] PGD 10299b067 P4D 10299b067 PUD 10299c067 PMD 0\n[ 0.904502] Oops: Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI\n[ 0.904737] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 135 Comm: exploit Not tainted 6.19.0-rc3+ #2 NONE\n[ 0.905157] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.17.0-0-gb52ca86e094d-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\n[ 0.905754] RIP: 0010:qfq_deactivate_agg (include/linux/list.h:992 (discriminator 2) include/linux/list.h:1006 (discriminator 2) net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1367 (discriminator 2) net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1393 (discriminator 2))\n[ 0.906046] Code: 0f 84 4d 01 00 00 48 89 70 18 8b 4b 10 48 c7 c2 ff ff ff ff 48 8b 78 08 48 d3 e2 48 21 f2 48 2b 13 48 8b 30 48 d3 ea 8b 4b 18 0\n\nCode starting with the faulting instruction\n===========================================\n 0:\t0f 84 4d 01 00 00 \tje 0x153\n 6:\t48 89 70 18 \tmov %rsi,0x18(%rax)\n a:\t8b 4b 10 \tmov 0x10(%rbx),%ecx\n d:\t48 c7 c2 ff ff ff ff \tmov $0xffffffffffffffff,%rdx\n 14:\t48 8b 78 08 \tmov 0x8(%rax),%rdi\n 18:\t48 d3 e2 \tshl %cl,%rdx\n 1b:\t48 21 f2 \tand %rsi,%rdx\n 1e:\t48 2b 13 \tsub (%rbx),%rdx\n 21:\t48 8b 30 \tmov (%rax),%rsi\n 24:\t48 d3 ea \tshr %cl,%rdx\n 27:\t8b 4b 18 \tmov 0x18(%rbx),%ecx\n\t...\n[ 0.907095] RSP: 0018:ffffc900004a39a0 EFLAGS: 00010246\n[ 0.907368] RAX: ffff8881043a0880 RBX: ffff888102953340 RCX: 0000000000000000\n[ 0.907723] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000\n[ 0.908100] RBP: ffff888102952180 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000\n[ 0.908451] R10: ffff8881043a0000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff888102952000\n[ 0.908804] R13: ffff888102952180 R14: ffff8881043a0ad8 R15: ffff8881043a0880\n[ 0.909179] FS: 000000002a1a0380(0000) GS:ffff888196d8d000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n[ 0.909572] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n[ 0.909857] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000102993002 CR4: 0000000000772ef0\n[ 0.910247] PKRU: 55555554\n[ 0.910391] Call Trace:\n[ 0.910527] \n[ 0.910638] qfq_reset_qdisc (net/sched/sch_qfq.c:357 net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1485)\n[ 0.910826] qdisc_reset (include/linux/skbuff.h:2195 include/linux/skbuff.h:2501 include/linux/skbuff.h:3424 include/linux/skbuff.h:3430 net/sched/sch_generic.c:1036)\n[ 0.911040] __qdisc_destroy (net/sched/sch_generic.c:1076)\n[ 0.911236] tc_new_tfilter (net/sched/cls_api.c:2447)\n[ 0.911447] rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:6958)\n[ 0.911663] ?
