Subject: [PATCH net v3 4/9] net/sched: hhf: clamp quantum in change and init paths
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 17:39:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <QDISC-0CFC.v3.20260901204856@mojatatu.com.5> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <QDISC-0CFC.v3.20260901204856@mojatatu.com>

hhf_change() accepts any quantum from userspace, including 1. With a
crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches ~2 GiB, so quantum=1 makes
the deficit-refill loop spin ~2^31 times under the qdisc lock
(a soft lockup / denial of service).

Add max(256U, ...) in hhf_change() matching fq_codel_change(). Clamp
hhf_init() to [256, 1<<20] matching the siblings, and remove the old
fallback that only set quantum=256 on overflow.

Conditions to recreate the bug:
  CONFIG_NET_SCH_HHF=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via
  unshare -Urn suffices).

  tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root hhf
  tc qdisc change dev dummy0 root hhf quantum 1 stab data 32768 size_log 15 cell_log 0
