Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 08/79] dql: Fix dql->limit value when reset.

From: Jing Su <jingsusu@...iglobal.com>

[ Upstream commit 3a17f23f7c36bac3a3584aaf97d3e3e0b2790396 ]

Executing dql_reset after setting a non-zero value for limit_min can
lead to an unreasonable situation where dql->limit is less than
dql->limit_min.

For instance, after setting
/sys/class/net/eth*/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/limit_min,
an ifconfig down/up operation might cause the ethernet driver to call
netdev_tx_reset_queue, which in turn invokes dql_reset.

In this case, dql->limit is reset to 0 while dql->limit_min remains
non-zero value, which is unexpected. The limit should always be
greater than or equal to limit_min.
