RCU keeps the old qdisc alive; it does not make that lock protect the replacement hierarchy. For example, a backlogged MQ child retained by an outstanding filter request can be detached and regrafted at the same parent. An SFQ timer that selected the interim root can then rehash its queues under that obsolete lock while tbf_graft() resets the SFQ under the current root's lock. This corrupts skb lists and SFQ slot state. Add an RCU-side helper which acquires the sleeping-root lock, checks that the root is still current, and retries if it changed. Once the check succeeds, dev_graft_qdisc() cannot replace the root until the callback releases its lock. Use it in the SFQ, RED, PIE, FQ-PIE and DualPI2 timers. Route default-qdisc attachment and scheduler shutdown through dev_graft_qdisc() as well, so live sleeping-root publications follow the same locking protocol.
