Subject: [PATCH net] net: sched: validate that class is found in qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen
First, vehement apologies for sending an RFC patch against such an old
kernel. This is (potentially) a bug fix for a crash that we've been seeing
in 3.2 and 3.10, and, AFAICT, the underlying issue has not been addressed.
We have an application that invokes tc to delete the root every time the
config changes. As a result we stress the cleanup code and were seeing the
following panic:

[... snip ...]
To my understanding, the following situation is taking place.
tc_ctl_tclass
-> htb_delete
-> class is deleted from clhash
-> htb_put
-> qdisc_destroy
-> fq_codel_reset
-> fq_codel_dequeue
-> qdidsc_tree_decrease_qlen
-> cl = htb_get # returns NULL, removed in htb_delete
-> htb_qlen_notify(sch, NULL) # BOOM
This patch checks cl for 0 before invoking qlen_notify and put. The notify
is not necessary in this case, as the parent has already been deactivated
anyway.
