An issue arises because it calls\nqdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops\nto zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will\nbe executed even though codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,\nwill mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a wild\nmemory access when qfq has codel as a child:\n\n[   36.339843][  T370] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xfbd59c0000000024: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI\n[   36.340408][  T370] KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127]\n[   36.340737][  T370] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 370 Comm: tc Not tainted 7.1.0-rc5-00287-g66e13b626592 #87 PREEMPT(full)\n[   36.341113][  T370] Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011\n[   36.341357][  T370] RIP: 0010:qfq_deactivate_agg (include/linux/list.h:1029 (discriminator 2) include/linux/list.h:1043 (discriminator 2) net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1369 (discriminator 2) net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1395 (discriminator 2)) sch_qfq\n[   36.342221][  T370] RSP: 0018:ffff8881100ef370 EFLAGS: 00010216\n[   36.342422][  T370] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8881058a9568 RCX: dffffc0000000000\n[   36.342664][  T370] RDX: 1ffff11021064dc3 RSI: ffff888108326e00 RDI: dffffc0000000000\n[   36.342905][  T370] RBP: ffff8881058a8280 R08: dead000000000122 R09: 1bd5a00000000024\n[   36.343140][  T370] R10: fffffbfff2940329 R11: fffffbfff2940329 R12: 0000000000000000\n[   36.343383][  T370] R13: dead000000000100 R14: ffff8881058a9580 R15: ffff8881058a9578\n[   36.343631][  T370] FS:  00007fc04b0ca780(0000) GS:ffff888184fef000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n[   36.343911][  T370] CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n[   36.344116][  T370] CR2: 0000557c02c02000 CR3: 000000010e0ba000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0\n[   36.344359][  T370] PKRU: 55555554\n[   36.344481][  T370] Call Trace:\n...\n[   36.345054][  T370] qfq_reset_qdisc (net/sched/sch_qfq.c:357 net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1487) sch_qfq\n[   36.345222][  T370]  qdisc_reset (net/sched/sch_generic.c:1057)\n[   36.345503][  T370]  __qdisc_destroy (net/sched/sch_generic.c:1096)\n[   36.345677][  T370]  qdisc_graft (net/sched/sch_api.c:1062 net/sched/sch_api.c:1053 net/sched/sch_api.c:1159)\n[   36.346335][  T370]  tc_get_qdisc (net/sched/sch_api.c:1528 net/sched/sch_api.c:1556)\n\nFix this by only calling qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog in peek after the\nqlen is restored.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/52f1da34c9f4d5bdc1e8b44242da5c7ba8db85f3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/755108bb7a5083e911294c416cfea605dc75632f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a05af7f58566682b73578b72ca8e53a268c43bd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/91e0a793a72374c20ab31a40ccec21373e82e973","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb9cfd874ee884117b33e92a002b9a45b48202f4"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-74267","score":0.00714,"percentile":0.53395,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
