+Subject: sch_htb: make htb_deactivate() idempotent
+
+Alan reported a NULL pointer dereference in htb_next_rb_node()
+after we made htb_qlen_notify() idempotent.
+
+It turns out in the following case it introduced some regression:
+
+htb_dequeue_tree():
+ |-> fq_codel_dequeue()
+ |-> qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()
+ |-> htb_qlen_notify()
+ |-> htb_deactivate()
+ |-> htb_next_rb_node()
+ |-> htb_deactivate()
+
+For htb_next_rb_node(), after calling the 1st htb_deactivate(), the
+clprio[prio]->ptr could be already set to NULL, which means
+htb_next_rb_node() is vulnerable here.
+
+For htb_deactivate(), although we checked qlen before calling it, in
+case of qlen==0 after qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(), we may call it again
+which triggers the warning inside.
+
+To fix the issues here, we need to:
+
+1) Make htb_deactivate() idempotent, that is, simply return if we
+ already call it before.
+2) Make htb_next_rb_node() safe against ptr==NULL.
+
+Many thanks to Alan for testing and for the reproducer.
