> A failure in validate_xmit_skb_list() triggered an unconditional call > to dev_requeue_skb with skb=NULL. This slowly grows the queue > discipline's qlen count until all traffic through the queue stops. > > We take the optimistic approach and continue running the queue after a > failure since it is unknown if later packets also will fail in the > validate path. > > Fixes: 55a93b3ea780 ("qdisc: validate skb without holding lock") > Signed-off-by: Lars Persson <lar...@axis.com> Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks.
