net: bridge: Do not offload IGMP/MLD messages
Do not offload IGMP/MLD messages as it could lead to IGMP/MLD Reports
being unintentionally flooded to Hosts. Instead, let the bridge decide
where to send these IGMP/MLD messages.
Consider the case where the local host is sending out reports in response
to a remote querier like the following:
In the above setup, br0 will want to br_forward() reports for
mcast-listener-process's group(s) via swp1 to QUERIER; but since the
source hwdom is 0, the report is eligible for tx offloading, and is
flooded by hardware to both swp1 and swp2, reaching SOME-OTHER-HOST as
well. (Example and illustration provided by Tobias.)

net: vlan: fix VLAN 0 refcount imbalance of toggling filtering during runtime
Assuming the "rx-vlan-filter" feature is enabled on a net device, the
8021q module will automatically add or remove VLAN 0 when the net device
is put administratively up or down, respectively. There are a couple of
problems with the above scheme.
The first problem is a memory leak that can happen if the "rx-vlan-filter"
feature is disabled while the device is running:
# ip link add bond1 up type bond mode 0
# ethtool -K bond1 rx-vlan-filter off
# ip link del dev bond1
When the device is put administratively down the "rx-vlan-filter"
feature is disabled, so the 8021q module will not remove VLAN 0 and the
memory will be leaked [1].
Another problem that can happen is that the kernel can automatically
delete VLAN 0 when the device is put administratively down despite not
adding it when the device was put administratively up since during that
time the "rx-vlan-filter" feature was disabled. null-ptr-unref or
bug_on[2] will be triggered by unregister_vlan_dev() for refcount
imbalance if toggling filtering during runtime:
$ ip link add bond0 type bond mode 0
$ ip link add link bond0 name vlan0 type vlan id 0 protocol 802.1q
$ ethtool -K bond0 rx-vlan-filter off
$ ifconfig bond0 up
$ ethtool -K bond0 rx-vlan-filter on
$ ifconfig bond0 down
$ ip link del vlan0
Root cause is as below:
step1: add vlan0 for real_dev, such as bond, team.
register_vlan_dev
vlan_vid_add(real_dev,htons(ETH_P_8021Q),0) //refcnt=1
step2: disable vlan filter feature and enable real_dev
step3: change filter from 0 to 1
vlan_device_event
vlan_filter_push_vids
ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid //No refcnt added to real_dev vlan0
step4: real_dev down
vlan_device_event
vlan_vid_del(dev, htons(ETH_P_8021Q), 0); //refcnt=0
vlan_info_rcu_free //free vlan0
step5: delete vlan0
unregister_vlan_dev
BUG_ON(!vlan_info); //vlan_info is null
Fix both problems by noting in the VLAN info whether VLAN 0 was
automatically added upon NETDEV_UP and based on that decide whether it
should be deleted upon NETDEV_DOWN, regardless of the state of the
"rx-vlan-filter" feature.

netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix crash due to removal of uninitialised entry
A crash in conntrack was reported while trying to unlink the conntrack
entry from the hash bucket list:
[exception RIP: __nf_ct_delete_from_lists+172]
[..]
#7 [ff539b5a2b043aa0] nf_ct_delete at ffffffffc124d421 [nf_conntrack]
#8 [ff539b5a2b043ad0] nf_ct_gc_expired at ffffffffc124d999 [nf_conntrack]
#9 [ff539b5a2b043ae0] __nf_conntrack_find_get at ffffffffc124efbc [nf_conntrack]
[..]
The nf_conn struct is marked as allocated from slab but appears to be in
a partially initialised state:
ct hlist pointer is garbage; looks like the ct hash value
(hence crash).
ct->status is equal to IPS_CONFIRMED|IPS_DYING, which is expected
ct->timeout is 30000 (=30s), which is unexpected.
Everything else looks like normal udp conntrack entry. If we ignore
ct->status and pretend its 0, the entry matches those that are newly
allocated but not yet inserted into the hash:
- ct hlist pointers are overloaded and store/cache the raw tuple hash
- ct->timeout matches the relative time expected for a new udp flow
rather than the absolute 'jiffies' value.
If it were not for the presence of IPS_CONFIRMED,
__nf_conntrack_find_get() would have skipped the entry.
Theory is that we did hit following race:
cpu x cpu y cpu z
found entry E found entry E
E is expired <preemption>
nf_ct_delete()
return E to rcu slab
init_conntrack
E is re-inited,
ct->status set to 0
reply tuplehash hnnode.pprev
stores hash value.
cpu y found E right before it was deleted on cpu x.
E is now re-inited on cpu z. cpu y was preempted before
checking for expiry and/or confirm bit.
->refcnt set to 1
E now owned by skb
->timeout set to 30000
If cpu y were to resume now, it would observe E as
expired but would skip E due to missing CONFIRMED bit.
nf_conntrack_confirm gets called
sets: ct->status |= CONFIRMED
This is wrong: E is not yet added
to hashtable.
cpu y resumes, it observes E as expired but CONFIRMED:
<resumes>
nf_ct_expired()
-> yes (ct->timeout is 30s)
confirmed bit set.
cpu y will try to delete E from the hashtable:
nf_ct_delete() -> set DYING bit
__nf_ct_delete_from_lists
Even this scenario doesn't guarantee a crash:
cpu z still holds the table bucket lock(s) so y blocks:
wait for spinlock held by z
CONFIRMED is set but there is no
guarantee ct will be added to hash:
"chaintoolong" or "clash resolution"
logic both skip the insert step.
reply hnnode.pprev still stores the
hash value.
unlocks spinlock
return NF_DROP
<unblocks, then
crashes on hlist_nulls_del_rcu pprev>
In case CPU z does insert the entry into the hashtable, cpu y will unlink
E again right away but no crash occurs.
Without 'cpu y' race, 'garbage' hlist is of no consequence:
ct refcnt remains at 1, eventually skb will be free'd and E gets
destroyed via: nf_conntrack_put -> nf_conntrack_destroy -> nf_ct_destroy.
To resolve this, move the IPS_CONFIRMED assignment after the table
insertion but before the unlock.
Pablo points out that the confirm-bit-store could be reordered to happen
before hlist add resp. the timeout fixup, so switch to set_bit and
before_atomic memory barrier to prevent this.
It doesn't matter if other CPUs can observe a newly inserted entry right
before the CONFIRMED bit was set:
Such event cannot be distinguished from above "E is the old incarnation"
case: the entry will be skipped.
Also change nf_ct_should_gc() to first check the confirmed bit.
The gc sequence is:
1. Check if entry has expired, if not skip to next entry
2. Obtain a reference to the expired entry.
3. Call nf_ct_should_gc() to double-check step 1.
nf_ct_should_gc() is thus called only for entries that already failed an
expiry check. After this patch, once the confirmed bit check passes
ct->timeout has been altered to reflect the absolute 'best before' date
instead of a relative time. Step 3 will therefore not remove the entry.
Without this change to nf_ct_should_gc() we could still get this sequence:
1. Check if entry has expired.
2. Obtain a reference.
3. Call nf_ct_should_gc() to double-check step 1:
4 - entry is still observed as expired
5 - meanwhile, ct->timeout is corrected to absolute value on other CPU
and confirm bit gets set
6 - confirm bit is seen
7 - valid entry is removed again
First do check 6), then 4) so the gc expiry check always picks up either
confirmed bit unset (entry gets skipped) or expiry re-check failure for
re-inited conntrack objects.
This change cannot be backported to releases before 5.19. Without
commit 8a75a2c17410 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove unconfirmed list")
|= IPS_CONFIRMED line cannot be moved without further changes.

net/mlx5: Correctly set gso_size when LRO is used
gso_size is expected by the networking stack to be the size of the
payload (thus, not including ethernet/IP/TCP-headers). However, cqe_bcnt
is the full sized frame (including the headers). Dividing cqe_bcnt by
lro_num_seg will then give incorrect results.
For example, running a bpftrace higher up in the TCP-stack
(tcp_event_data_recv), we commonly have gso_size set to 1450 or 1451 even
though in reality the payload was only 1448 bytes.
This can have unintended consequences:
- In tcp_measure_rcv_mss() len will be for example 1450, but. rcv_mss
will be 1448 (because tp->advmss is 1448). Thus, we will always
recompute scaling_ratio each time an LRO-packet is received.
- In tcp_gro_receive(), it will interfere with the decision whether or
not to flush and thus potentially result in less gro'ed packets.
So, we need to discount the protocol headers from cqe_bcnt so we can
actually divide the payload by lro_num_seg to get the real gso_size.
The ovpn_netdev_write() function is responsible for injecting
decapsulated and decrypted packets back into the local network stack.
Prior to this patch, the skb could retain GSO metadata from the outer,
encrypted tunnel packet. This original GSO metadata, relevant to the
sender's transport context, becomes invalid and misleading for the
tunnel/data path once the inner packet is exposed.
Leaving this stale metadata intact causes internal GSO validation checks
further down the kernel's network stack (validate_xmit_skb()) to fail,
leading to packet drops. The reasons for these failures vary by
protocol, for example:
- for ICMP, no offload handler is registered;
- for TCP and UDP, the respective offload handlers return errors when
comparing skb->len to the outdated skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size.
By calling skb_gso_reset(skb) we ensure the inner packet is presented to
gro_cells_receive() with a clean state, correctly indicating it is an
individual packet from the perspective of the local stack.
This change eliminates the "Driver has suspect GRO implementation, TCP
performance may be compromised" warning and improves overall TCP
performance by allowing GSO/GRO to function as intended on the
decapsulated traffic.

ovpn: propagate socket mark to skb in UDP
OpenVPN allows users to configure a FW mark on sockets used to

`SO_MARK` Linux socket option.
However, in the ovpn UDP code path, the socket's `sk_mark` value is
currently ignored and it is not propagated to outgoing `skbs`.
This commit ensures proper inheritance of the field by setting
`skb->mark` to `sk->sk_mark` before handing the `skb` to the network
stack for transmission.
This series contains 3 fixes somewhat related to various races we have
while handling fallback.
The root cause of the issues addressed here is that the check for
"we can fallback to tcp now" and the related action are not atomic. That
also applies to fallback due to MP_FAIL -- where the window race is even
wider.
Address the issue introducing an additional spinlock to bundle together
all the relevant events, as per patch 1 and 2. These fixes can be
backported up to v5.19 and v5.15.
Note that mptcp_disconnect() unconditionally clears the fallback status
(zeroing msk->flags) but don't touch the `allows_infinite_fallback`
flag. Such issue is addressed in patch 3, and can be backported up to

Since we need to track the 'fallback is possible' condition and the
fallback status separately, there are a few possible races open between
the check and the actual fallback action.
Add a spinlock to protect the fallback related information and use it
close all the possible related races. While at it also remove the
too-early clearing of allow_infinite_fallback in __mptcp_subflow_connect():
the field will be correctly cleared by subflow_finish_connect() if/when
the connection will complete successfully.
If fallback is not possible, as per RFC, reset the current subflow.
Since the fallback operation can now fail and return value should be
checked, rename the helper accordingly.
Multicast good packets received by PF rings that pass ethternet MAC
address filtering are counted for rtnl_link_stats64.multicast. The
counter is not cleared on read. Fix the duplicate counting on updating
statistics.
When device reset is triggered by feature changes such as toggling Rx
VLAN offload, wx->do_reset() is called to reinitialize Rx rings. The
hardware descriptor ring may retain stale values from previous sessions.
And only set the length to 0 in rx_desc[0] would result in building
malformed SKBs. Fix it to ensure a clean slate after device reset.
The wx_rx_buffer structure contained two DMA address fields: 'dma' and
'page_dma'. However, only 'page_dma' was actually initialized and used
to program the Rx descriptor. But 'dma' was uninitialized and used in
some paths.
This could lead to undefined behavior, including DMA errors or
use-after-free, if the uninitialized 'dma' was used. Althrough such

selftests: net: increase inter-packet timeout in udpgro.sh
The mentioned test is not very stable when running on top of
debug kernel build. Increase the inter-packet timeout to allow
more slack in such environments.
Fixes reset GPIO usage during probe by ensuring we retrieve the GPIO and
take the device out of reset (if it defaults to being in reset) before
we attempt to communicate with the device. This is achieved by moving
the call to tcan4x5x_get_gpios() before tcan4x5x_find_version() and
avoiding any device communication while getting the GPIOs. Once we
determine the version, we can then take the knowledge of which GPIOs we
obtained and use it to decide whether we need to disable the wake or
state pin functions within the device.
This change is necessary in a situation where the reset GPIO is pulled
high externally before the CPU takes control of it, meaning we need to
explicitly bring the device out of reset before we can start
communicating with it at all.
This also has the effect of fixing an issue where a reset of the device
would occur after having called tcan4x5x_disable_wake(), making the
original behavior not actually disable the wake. This patch should now
disable wake or state pin functions well after the reset occurs.

This really has been a completely failed experiment. There were
no actual bugs found, and yet at this point we already have four
"fixes" to it, with nothing to show for but code churn, and it
never even made the code any safer.
In all of the cases that ended up getting "fixed", the structure
is also internally inconsistent after the n_channels setting as
the channel list isn't actually filled yet. You cannot scan with
such a structure, that's just wrong. In mac80211, the struct is
also reused multiple times, so initializing it once is no good.
Some previous "fixes" (e.g. one in brcm80211) are also just setting
n_channels before accessing the array, under the assumption that the
code is correct and the array can be accessed, further showing that
the whole thing is just pointless when the allocation count and use
count are not separate.
If we really wanted to fix it, we'd need to separately track the
number of channels allocated and the number of channels currently
used, but given that no bugs were found despite the numerous syzbot
reports, that'd just be a waste of time.
Remove the __counted_by() annotation. We really should also remove
a number of the n_channels settings that are setting up a structure
that's inconsistent, but that can wait.

selftests/tc-testing: Create test cases for adding qdiscs to invalid qdisc parents
As described in a previous commit [1], Lion's patch [2] revealed an ancient
bug in the qdisc API. Whenever a user tries to add a qdisc to an
invalid parent (not a class, root, or ingress qdisc), the qdisc API will
detect this after qdisc_create is called. Some qdiscs (like fq_codel, pie,
and sfq) call functions (on their init callback) which assume the parent is
valid, so qdisc_create itself may have caused a NULL pointer dereference in
such cases.
This commit creates 3 TDC tests that attempt to add fq_codel, pie and sfq
qdiscs to invalid parents
- Attempts to add an fq_codel qdisc to an hhf qdisc parent
- Attempts to add a pie qdisc to a drr qdisc parent
- Attempts to add an sfq qdisc to an inexistent hfsc classid (which would
belong to a valid hfsc qdisc)
smc: Fix various oops due to inet_sock type confusion.
syzbot reported weird splats [0][1] in cipso_v4_sock_setattr() while
freeing inet_sk(sk)->inet_opt.
The address was freed multiple times even though it was read-only memory.
cipso_v4_sock_setattr() did nothing wrong, and the root cause was type
confusion.
The cited commit made it possible to create smc_sock as an INET socket.
The issue is that struct smc_sock does not have struct inet_sock as the
first member but hijacks AF_INET and AF_INET6 sk_family, which confuses
various places.
In this case, inet_sock.inet_opt was actually smc_sock.clcsk_data_ready(),
which is an address of a function in the text segment.

af_packet: fix soft lockup issue caused by tpacket_snd()
When MSG_DONTWAIT is not set, the tpacket_snd operation will wait for
pending_refcnt to decrement to zero before returning. The pending_refcnt
is decremented by 1 when the skb->destructor function is called,
indicating that the skb has been successfully sent and needs to be
destroyed.
If an error occurs during this process, the tpacket_snd() function will
exit and return error, but pending_refcnt may not yet have decremented to
zero. Assuming the next send operation is executed immediately, but there
are no available frames to be sent in tx_ring (i.e., packet_current_frame
returns NULL), and skb is also NULL, the function will not execute
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() to yield the CPU. Instead, it
will enter a do-while loop, waiting for pending_refcnt to be zero. Even
if the previous skb has completed transmission, the skb->destructor
function can only be invoked in the ksoftirqd thread (assuming NAPI
threading is enabled). When both the ksoftirqd thread and the tpacket_snd
operation happen to run on the same CPU, and the CPU trapped in the
do-while loop without yielding, the ksoftirqd thread will not get
scheduled to run. As a result, pending_refcnt will never be reduced to
zero, and the do-while loop cannot exit, eventually leading to a CPU soft
lockup issue.
In fact, skb is true for all but the first iterations of that loop, and
as long as pending_refcnt is not zero, even if incremented by a previous
call, wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() should be executed to
yield the CPU, allowing the ksoftirqd thread to be scheduled. Therefore,
the execution condition of this function should be modified to check if
pending_refcnt is not zero, instead of check skb.
- if (need_wait && skb) {
+ if (need_wait && packet_read_pending(&po->tx_ring)) {
As a result, the judgment conditions are duplicated with the end code of
the while loop, and packet_read_pending() is a very expensive function.
Actually, this loop can only exit when ph is NULL, so the loop condition
can be changed to while (1), and in the "ph = NULL" branch, if the
subsequent condition of if is not met, the loop can break directly. Now,
the loop logic remains the same as origin but is clearer and more obvious.

This patch resolves the issue by introducing a new prio for this

so, packets arriving during the window now fall through to the next
prio (at MLX5E_NIC_PRIO) instead of being dropped.

net/mlx5e: Fix race between DIM disable and net_dim()
There's a race between disabling DIM and NAPI callbacks using the dim
pointer on the RQ or SQ.
If NAPI checks the DIM state bit and sees it still set, it assumes
`rq->dim` or `sq->dim` is valid. But if DIM gets disabled right after
that check, the pointer might already be set to NULL, leading to a NULL
pointer dereference in net_dim().
Fix this by calling `synchronize_net()` before freeing the DIM context.
This ensures all in-progress NAPI callbacks are finished before the
pointer is cleared.

When fixing IPv6 link-local address generation on GRE devices with
commit 3e6a0243ff00 ("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address
generation."), I accidentally broke the default IPv6 multicast route
creation on these GRE devices.
Fix that in patch 1, making the GRE specific code yet a bit closer to
the generic code used by most other network interface types.
Then extend the selftest in patch 2 to cover this case.
====================
selftests: Add IPv6 multicast route generation tests for GRE devices.
The previous patch fixes a bug that prevented the creation of the
default IPv6 multicast route (ff00::/8) for some GRE devices. Now let's
extend the GRE IPv6 selftests to cover this case.
Also, rename check_ipv6_ll_addr() to check_ipv6_device_config() and
adapt comments and script output to take into account the fact that
we're not limited to link-local address generation.
Use addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in
addrconf_gre_config() so that we don't just get the inet6_dev, but also
install the default ff00::/8 multicast route.
Before commit 3e6a0243ff00 ("gre: Fix again IPv6 link-local address
generation."), the multicast route was created at the end of the
function by addrconf_add_mroute(). But this code path is now only taken
in one particular case (gre devices not bound to a local IP address and
in EUI64 mode). For all other cases, the function exits early and
addrconf_add_mroute() is not called anymore.
Using addrconf_add_dev() instead of ipv6_find_idev() in
addrconf_gre_config(), fixes the problem as it will create the default
multicast route for all gre devices. This also brings
addrconf_gre_config() a bit closer to the normal netdevice IPv6
configuration code (addrconf_dev_config()).

This patch series improves the reliability of the Microchip LAN88xx
PHYs, particularly in edge cases involving fixed link configurations or
forced speed modes.
Patch 1 assigns genphy_soft_reset() to the .soft_reset hook to ensure
that stale link partner advertisement (LPA) bits are properly cleared
during reconfiguration. Without this, outdated autonegotiation bits may
remain visible in some parallel detection cases.
Patch 2 restricts the 100 Mbps workaround (originally intended to handle
cable length switching) to only run when the link transitions to the
PHY_NOLINK state. This prevents repeated toggling that can confuse
autonegotiating link partners such as the Intel i350, leading to
unstable link cycles.
Both patches were tested on a LAN7850 (with integrated LAN88xx PHY)
against an Intel I350 NIC. The full test suite - autonegotiation, fixed
link, and parallel detection - passed successfully.
====================
net: phy: microchip: limit 100M workaround to link-down events on LAN88xx
Restrict the 100Mbit forced-mode workaround to link-down transitions
only, to prevent repeated link reset cycles in certain configurations.
The workaround was originally introduced to improve signal reliability
when switching cables between long and short distances. It temporarily
forces the PHY into 10 Mbps before returning to 100 Mbps.
However, when used with autonegotiating link partners (e.g., Intel i350),
executing this workaround on every link change can confuse the partner
and cause constant renegotiation loops. This results in repeated link
down/up transitions and the PHY never reaching a stable state.
Limit the workaround to only run during the PHY_NOLINK state. This ensures
it is triggered only once per link drop, avoiding disruptive toggling
while still preserving its intended effect.
Note: I am not able to reproduce the original issue that this workaround
addresses. I can only confirm that 100 Mbit mode works correctly in my
test setup. Based on code inspection, I assume the workaround aims to
reset some internal state machine or signal block by toggling speeds.
However, a PHY reset is already performed earlier in the function via
phy_init_hw(), which may achieve a similar effect. Without a reproducer,
I conservatively keep the workaround but restrict its conditions.

net: phy: microchip: Use genphy_soft_reset() to purge stale LPA bits
Enable .soft_reset for the LAN88xx PHY driver by assigning
genphy_soft_reset() to ensure that the phylib core performs a proper
soft reset during reconfiguration.
Previously, the driver left .soft_reset unimplemented, so calls to
phy_init_hw() (e.g., from lan88xx_link_change_notify()) did not fully
reset the PHY. As a result, stale contents in the Link Partner Ability
(LPA) register could persist, causing the PHY to incorrectly report
that the link partner advertised autonegotiation even when it did not.
Using genphy_soft_reset() guarantees a clean reset of the PHY and
corrects the false autoneg reporting in these scenarios.

wifi: mac80211: add the virtual monitor after reconfig complete
In reconfig we add the virtual monitor in 2 cases:
1. If we are resuming (it was deleted on suspend)
2. If it was added after an error but before the reconfig
(due to the last non-monitor interface removal).
In the second case, the removal of the non-monitor interface will succeed
but the addition of the virtual monitor will fail, so we add it in the
reconfig.
The problem is that we mislead the driver to think that this is an existing
interface that is getting re-added - while it is actually a completely new
interface from the drivers' point of view.
Some drivers act differently when a interface is re-added. For example, it
might not initialize things because they were already initialized.
Such drivers will - in this case - be left with a partialy initialized vif.
To fix it, add the virtual monitor after reconfig_complete, so the
driver will know that this is a completely new interface.
This is currently not initialized for a virtual monitor, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference when - for example - iterating over all the
keys of all the vifs.

rxrpc: Fix bug due to prealloc collision
When userspace is using AF_RXRPC to provide a server, it has to preallocate
incoming calls and assign to them call IDs that will be used to thread
related recvmsg() and sendmsg() together. The preallocated call IDs will
automatically be attached to calls as they come in until the pool is empty.
To the kernel, the call IDs are just arbitrary numbers, but userspace can
use the call ID to hold a pointer to prepared structs. In any case, the
user isn't permitted to create two calls with the same call ID (call IDs
become available again when the call ends) and EBADSLT should result from
sendmsg() if an attempt is made to preallocate a call with an in-use call
ID.
However, the cleanup in the error handling will trigger both assertions in
rxrpc_cleanup_call() because the call isn't marked complete and isn't
marked as having been released.
Fix this by setting the call state in rxrpc_service_prealloc_one() and then
marking it as being released before calling the cleanup function.

net/sched: Abort __tc_modify_qdisc if parent class does not exist
Lion's patch [1] revealed an ancient bug in the qdisc API.
Whenever a user creates/modifies a qdisc specifying as a parent another
qdisc, the qdisc API will, during grafting, detect that the user is
not trying to attach to a class and reject. However grafting is
performed after qdisc_create (and thus the qdiscs' init callback) is
executed. In qdiscs that eventually call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog
during init or change (such as fq, hhf, choke, etc), an issue
arises. For example, executing the following commands:
sudo tc qdisc add dev lo root handle a: htb default 2
sudo tc qdisc add dev lo parent a: handle beef fq
Qdiscs such as fq, hhf, choke, etc unconditionally invoke
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() in their control path init() or change() which
then causes a failure to find the child class; however, that does not stop
the unconditional invocation of the assumed child qdisc's qlen_notify with
a null class. All these qdiscs make the assumption that class is non-null.
The solution is ensure that qdisc_leaf() which looks up the parent
class, and is invoked prior to qdisc_create(), should return failure on
not finding the class.
In this patch, we leverage qdisc_leaf to return ERR_PTRs whenever the
parentid doesn't correspond to a class, so that we can detect it
earlier on and abort before qdisc_create is called.
