Petr Machata says: ==================== When ungrafting from PRIO, replace child with FIFO When a child Qdisc is removed from one of the PRIO Qdisc's bands, it is replaced unconditionally by a NOOP qdisc. As a result, any traffic hitting that band gets dropped. That is incorrect--no Qdisc was explicitly added when PRIO was created, and after removal, none should have to be added either. In patch #2, this problem is fixed for PRIO by first attempting to create a default Qdisc and only falling back to noop when that fails. This pattern of attempting to create an invisible FIFO, using NOOP only as a fallback, is also seen in some other Qdiscs. The only driver currently offloading PRIO (and thus presumably the only one impacted by this) is mlxsw. Therefore patch #1 extends mlxsw to handle the replacement by an invisible FIFO gracefully. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
