[ Upstream commit 3df275ef0a6ae181e8428a6589ef5d5231e58b5c ]
This patch fixes a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the HFSC qdisc class
handling. The issue occurs due to a time-of-check/time-of-use condition
in hfsc_change_class() when working with certain child qdiscs like netem
or codel.
The vulnerability works as follows:
1. hfsc_change_class() checks if a class has packets (q.qlen != 0)
2. It then calls qdisc_peek_len(), which for certain qdiscs (e.g.,
codel, netem) might drop packets and empty the queue
3. The code continues assuming the queue is still non-empty, adding
the class to vttree
4. This breaks HFSC scheduler assumptions that only non-empty classes
are in vttree
5. Later, when the class is destroyed, this can lead to a Use-After-Free
The fix adds a second queue length check after qdisc_peek_len() to verify
the queue wasn't emptied.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
