2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jarek Poplawski [ Upstream commit 9f3ffae0dbce491a3e9871b686342fd5aa854f05 ] After these commands: # modprobe sch_teql # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root teql0 # tc qdisc del dev eth0 root we get an oops in teql_destroy() when spin_lock is taken from a null qdisc_sleeping pointer. It's because at the moment teql0 dev haven't been activated yet, and a qdisc_root_sleeping() is pointing to noop qdisc's netdev_queue with qdisc_sleeping uninitialized. This patch fixes this both for noop and noqueue netdev_queues to avoid similar problems in the future. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski Signed-off-by: David S.
