[PATTCH net v5 1/8] net/sched: netem: fix probability gaps in 4-state loss model

[Stephen Hemminger]

The 4-state Markov chain in loss_4state() has gaps at the boundaries
between transition probability ranges. The comparisons use:

  if (rnd < a4)
  else if (a4 < rnd && rnd < a1 + a4)

When rnd equals a boundary value exactly, neither branch matches and
no state transition occurs. The redundant lower-bound check (a4 < rnd)
is already implied by being in the else branch.

Remove the unnecessary lower-bound comparisons so the ranges are
contiguous and every random value produces a transition, matching
the GI (General and Intuitive) loss model specification.

This bug goes back to original implementation of this model.

[PATTCH net v5 2/8] net/sched: netem: fix queue limit check to include reordered packets

[Stephen Hemminger]

The queue limit check in netem_enqueue() uses q->t_len which only
counts packets in the internal tfifo. Packets placed in sch->q by
the reorder path (__qdisc_enqueue_head) are not counted, allowing
the total queue occupancy to exceed sch->limit under reordering.

Include sch->q.qlen in the limit check.

[PATTCH net v5 3/8] net/sched: netem: only reseed PRNG when seed is explicitly provided

[Stephen Hemminger]

netem_change() unconditionally reseeds the PRNG on every tc change
command. If TCA_NETEM_PRNG_SEED is not specified, a new random seed
is generated, destroying reproducibility for users who set a
deterministic seed on a previous change.

Move the initial random seed generation to netem_init() and only
reseed in netem_change() when TCA_NETEM_PRNG_SEED is explicitly
provided by the user.

[PATTCH net v5 4/8] net/sched: netem: refactor dequeue into helper functions

[Stephen Hemminger]

Extract the tfifo removal, slot accounting, and child/direct dequeue
paths from the monolithic netem_dequeue() into separate helpers:

  netem_pull_tfifo()    - remove head packet from tfifo
  netem_slot_account()  - update slot pacing counters
  netem_dequeue_child() - enqueue to child, then dequeue from child
  netem_dequeue_direct()- dequeue from tfifo when no child

This replaces the goto-based control flow with straightforward function
calls, making the code easier to follow and modify.

No functional change intended.

[PATTCH net v5 5/8] net/sched: netem: batch-transfer ready packets to avoid child re-entrancy

[Stephen Hemminger]

netem_dequeue_child() previously transferred one packet from the tfifo
to the child qdisc per dequeue call. Parents like HFSC that track
class active/inactive state on qlen transitions could see an enqueue
during dequeue, causing double-insertion into the eltree
(CVE-2025-37890, CVE-2025-38001). Non-work-conserving children like
TBF could also refuse to return a just-enqueued packet, making netem
return NULL despite having backlog, which causes parents like DRR to
incorrectly deactivate the class.

Move all time-ready packets into the child before calling its dequeue.
This separates the enqueue and dequeue phases so the parent sees
consistent qlen transitions.

Can you explain how skb->next could be not NULL ?

This would be a bug in the upper stack.

Only TCQ_F_NOLOCK qdiscs (pfifo_fast) can possibly get such skbs, and
it would not care.

Other qdiscs already get skbs with skb_mark_not_on_list(skb).

[PATTCH net v5 8/8] net/sched: netem: fix slot delay calculation overflow

[Stephen Hemminger]

get_slot_next() computes a random delay between min_delay and
max_delay using:

  get_random_u32() * (max_delay - min_delay) >> 32

This overflows signed 64-bit arithmetic when the delay range exceeds
approximately 2.1 seconds (2^31 nanoseconds), producing a negative
result that effectively disables slot-based pacing. This is a
realistic configuration for WAN emulation (e.g., slot 1s 5s).

Use mul_u64_u32_shr() which handles the widening multiply without
overflow.

Fixes: 0a9fe5c375b5 ("netem: slotting with non-uniform distribution")
