[ Upstream commit 71261956973ba9e0637848a5adb4a5819b4bae83 ]

If the old timestamps of a class, say cl, are stale when the class
becomes active, then QFQ may assign to cl a much higher start time
than the maximum value allowed. This may happen when QFQ assigns to
the start time of cl the finish time of a group whose classes are
characterized by a higher value of the ratio
max_class_pkt/weight_of_the_class with respect to that of
cl. Inserting a class with a too high start time into the bucket list
corrupts the data structure and may eventually lead to crashes.
This patch limits the maximum start time assigned to a class.

[ Upstream commit 696ecdc10622d86541f2e35cc16e15b6b3b1b67e ]

gact_rand array is accessed by gact-&gt;tcfg_ptype whose value
is assumed to less than MAX_RAND, but any range checks are
not performed.

So add a check in tcf_gact_init(). And in tcf_gact(), we can
reduce a branch.

<title>netem: add limitation to reordered packets</title>

Fix two netem bugs :

1) When a frame was dropped by tfifo_enqueue(), drop counter
   was incremented twice.

2) When reordering is triggered, we enqueue a packet without
   checking queue limit. This can OOM pretty fast when this
   is repeated enough, since skbs are orphaned, no socket limit
   can help in this situation.

  non-root cgroups.

  There's a reported bug with the file type addition / removal handling
  which can lead to oops on cgroup umount.  The issue is being looked

codel_should_drop() logic allows a packet being not dropped if queue
size is under max packet size.

In fq_codel, we have two possible backlogs : The qdisc global one, and
the flow local one.

The meaningful one for codel_should_drop() should be the global backlog,
not the per flow one, so that thin flows can have a non zero drop/mark
probability.
