5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jamal Hadi Salim [ Upstream commit d9ebd8f9aa8b2773235889cb903fafd61f2d8585 ] fq_codel_init() sets q->quantum = psched_mtu(qdisc_dev(sch)) without clamping. A device with a huge MTU (e.g. dummy with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634) makes psched_mtu() return 0x80000000, which overflows the signed flow->deficit to INT_MIN in fq_codel_dequeue(), causing an infinite loop and soft lockup. Emulate fq_codel_change() and constrain to [256, FQ_CODEL_QUANTUM_MAX]. The same unclamped psched_mtu() is assigned to q->cparams.mtu a bit below, and fq_codel_change() never updates it. codel_should_drop() tests "*backlog <= params->mtu"; with mtu == 0x80000000 (~2 GiB) and the default 32 MiB memory_limit, the test is always true, so CoDel is silently and completely disabled (no drops, no ECN). Declare a single clamped mtu and assign both q->quantum and q->cparams.mtu from it, which also removes the double psched_mtu() call. Conditions to recreate the bug: a device whose MTU (plus hard_header_len) wraps psched_mtu() into the sign bit (e.g. a dummy device with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634). Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in a user namespace.
