syzkaller reported a refcount_t warning [1]

Issue here is that noop_qdisc refcnt was never really considered as
a true refcount, since qdisc_destroy() found TCQ_F_BUILTIN set :

if (qdisc-&gt;flags &amp; TCQ_F_BUILTIN ||
    !refcount_dec_and_test(&amp;qdisc-&gt;refcnt)))
	return;

Meaning that all atomic_inc() we did on noop_qdisc.refcnt were not
really needed, but harmless until refcount_t came.

To fix this problem, we simply need to not increment noop_qdisc.refcnt,
since we never decrement it.

refcount_t: increment on 0; use-after-free.

This important to call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() after changing queue
length. Parent qdisc should deactivate class in -&gt;qlen_notify() called from
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() but this happens only if qdisc-&gt;q.qlen in zero.

Missed class deactivations leads to crashes/warnings at picking packets
from empty qdisc and corrupting state at reactivating this class in future.

Introduce new type of termination action called "goto_chain". This allows
user to specify a chain to be processed. This action type is
then processed as a return value in tcf_classify loop in similar
way as "reclassify" is, only it does not reset to the first filter
in chain but rather reset to the first filter of the desired chain.

Instead of having only one filter per block, introduce a list of chains
for every block. Create chain 0 by default. UAPI is extended so the user
can specify which chain he wants to change. If the new attribute is not
specified, chain 0 is used. That allows to maintain backward
compatibility. If chain does not exist and user wants to manipulate with
it, new chain is created with specified index. Also, when last filter is
removed from the chain, the chain is destroyed.

Currently, the filter chains are direcly put into the private structures
of qdiscs. In order to be able to have multiple chains per qdisc and to
allow filter chains sharing among qdiscs, there is a need for common
object that would hold the chains. This introduces such object and calls
it "tcf_block".

Helpers to get and put the blocks are provided to be called from
individual qdisc code. Also, the original filter_list pointers are left
in qdisc privs to allow the entry into tcf_block processing without any
added overhead of possible multiple pointer dereference on fast path.

<title>net_sched: move the empty tp check from -&gt;destroy() to -&gt;delete()</title>

<id>763dbf6328e41de7a55851baf5ee49e367552531</id>
<content type='text'>
We could have a race condition where in -&gt;classify() path we
dereference tp-&gt;root and meanwhile a parallel -&gt;destroy() makes it
a NULL. Daniel cured this bug in commit d936377414fa
("net, sched: respect rcu grace period on cls destruction").

This happens when -&gt;destroy() is called for deleting a filter to
check if we are the last one in tp, this tp is still linked and
visible at that time. The root cause of this problem is the semantic
of -&gt;destroy(), it does two things (for non-force case):

1) check if tp is empty
2) if tp is empty we could really destroy it

and its caller, if cares, needs to check its return value to see if it
is really destroyed. Therefore we can't unlink tp unless we know it is
empty.

As suggested by Daniel, we could actually move the test logic to -&gt;delete()
so that we can safely unlink tp after -&gt;delete() tells us the last one is
just deleted and before -&gt;destroy().

We could have a race condition where in -&gt;classify() path we
dereference tp-&gt;root and meanwhile a parallel -&gt;destroy() makes it
a NULL. Daniel cured this bug in commit d936377414fa
("net, sched: respect rcu grace period on cls destruction").

This happens when -&gt;destroy() is called for deleting a filter to
check if we are the last one in tp, this tp is still linked and
visible at that time. The root cause of this problem is the semantic
of -&gt;destroy(), it does two things (for non-force case):

1) check if tp is empty
2) if tp is empty we could really destroy it

and its caller, if cares, needs to check its return value to see if it
is really destroyed. Therefore we can't unlink tp unless we know it is
empty.

As suggested by Daniel, we could actually move the test logic to -&gt;delete()
so that we can safely unlink tp after -&gt;delete() tells us the last one is
just deleted and before -&gt;destroy().

<title>net: sched: make default fifo qdiscs appear in the dump</title>

The original reason [1] for having hidden qdiscs (potential scalability
issues in qdisc_match_from_root() with single linked list in case of large
amount of qdiscs) has been invalidated by 59cc1f61f0 ("net: sched: convert
qdisc linked list to hashtable").

This allows us for bringing more clarity and determinism into the dump by
making default pfifo qdiscs visible.

We're not turning this on by default though, at it was deemed [2] too
intrusive / unnecessary change of default behavior towards userspace.
Instead, TCA_DUMP_INVISIBLE netlink attribute is introduced, which allows
applications to request complete qdisc hierarchy dump, including the
ones that have always been implicit/invisible.

Singleton noop_qdisc stays invisible, as teaching the whole infrastructure
about singletons would require quite some surgery with very little gain
(seeing no qdisc or seeing noop qdisc in the dump is probably setting
the same user expectation).
