A soft lockup issue was observed with following log: watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 104s! [tc:94] CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 94 Comm: tc Tainted: G L 6.18.0-rc4-00007-gc9cfc122f037 #425 PREEMPT(voluntary) RIP: 0010:qdisc_match_from_root+0x0/0x70 Call Trace: qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog+0xec/0x110 fq_change+0x2e0/0x6a0 qdisc_create+0x138/0x4e0 tc_modify_qdisc+0x5b9/0x9d0 rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x15a/0x400 netlink_rcv_skb+0x55/0x100 netlink_unicast+0x257/0x380 netlink_sendmsg+0x1e2/0x420 ____sys_sendmsg+0x313/0x340 ___sys_sendmsg+0x82/0xd0 __sys_sendmsg+0x6c/0xd0 The issue can be reproduced by: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root noqueue tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff:0 ingress tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffe0:0 parent ffff:a fq A fq qdisc was created in __tc_modify_qdisc(), when the input parent major 'ffff' is equal to the ingress qdisc handle major and the complete parent handle is not TC_H_ROOT or TC_H_INGRESS, which leads to a infinite loop in qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(). The infinite loop scenario: qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog // init sch is fq qdisc, parent is ffff000a while ((parentid = sch->parent)) { // query qdisc by handle ffff0000 sch = qdisc_lookup_rcu(qdisc_dev(sch), TC_H_MAJ(parentid)); // return ingress qdisc, sch->parent is fffffff1 if (sch == NULL) { ... } Commit 2e95c4384438 ("net/sched: stop qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog on TC_H_ROOT") break the loop only when parent TC_H_ROOT is reached. However, qdisc_lookup_rcu() will return the same qdisc when input an ingress qdisc with major 'ffff'. If the parent TC_H_INGRESS is reached, also break the loop.
