Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: skip reverse bind walk after failed class delete
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 00:53:06 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329165306.241079-1-tpluszz77@gmail.com> (raw)
__tc_ctl_tclass() unconditionally calls tc_bind_tclass() after
RTM_DELTCLASS even when tclass_del_notify() fails. On
ingress/clsact qdiscs with shared blocks, the delete always fails
with -EOPNOTSUPP, but the subsequent bind walk still runs.
tc_bind_tclass() reaches tcf_node_bind() which calls tcf_block_q()
on the shared block and dereferences the NULL qdisc pointer.
Only perform the reverse bind walk when the class delete succeeds.
Triggered by issuing RTM_DELTCLASS on an ingress/clsact pseudo-class
that carries a shared block with a classifier using bind_class:
$ tc qdisc add dev veth0 egress_block 22 clsact
$ tc filter add block 22 pref 1 protocol ip handle 0x1 \
fw classid ffff:fff3 action drop
$ tc class del dev veth0 classid ffff:fff3
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x00000700
The NULL dereference occurs in tcf_node_bind() when sch_tree_lock()
is called with the NULL return from tcf_block_q() on a shared block.
Fixes: 07d79fc7d94e ("net_sched: add reverse binding for tc class")
