Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/6] net/sched: netem: check for invalid slot range
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 11:26:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260328182704.456993-3-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260328182704.456993-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
Reject slot configuration where min_delay exceeds max_delay.
The delay range computation in get_slot_next() underflows in
this case, producing bogus results.
Fixes: 0a9fe5c375b5 ("netem: slotting with non-uniform distribution")
Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
