====================
Replace direct dequeue call with qdisc_dequeue_peeked
When sfb and red qdiscs have children (eg qfq qdisc) whose peek() callback is
qdisc_peek_dequeued(), we could get a kernel panic. When the parent of such
qdiscs (eg illustrated in patch #3 as tbf) wants to retrieve an skb from
its child (red/sfb in this case), it will do the following:
1a. do a peek() - and when sensing there's an skb the child can offer, then
- the child in this case(red/sfb) calls its child's (qfq) peek.
qfq does the right thing and will return the gso_skb queue packet.
Note: if there wasnt a gso_skb entry then qfq will store it there.
1b. invoke a dequeue() on the child (red/sfb). And herein lies the problem.
- red/sfb will call the child's dequeue() which will essentially just
try to grab something of qfq's queue.
The right thing to do in #1b is to grab the skb off gso_skb queue.
This patchset fixes that issue by changing #1b to use qdisc_dequeue_peeked()
method instead.
Patch 1 fixes the issue for red qdisc. Patch 2 fixes it for sfb.
Patch 3 adds testcases for the two setups.
