Description SMASH SMASH 2024-05-20 13:27:10 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: fix lockdep splat in qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()

qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() is called with the qdisc lock held,
not RTNL.

We must use qdisc_lookup_rcu() instead of qdisc_lookup()

syzbot reported:

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
6.1.74-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
-----------------------------
net/sched/sch_api.c:305 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
3 locks held by udevd/1142:
