Mingshuai Ren reports: When a new chain is added by using tc, one soft lockup alarm will be generated after delete the prio 0 filter of the chain. To reproduce the problem, perform the following steps: (1) tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 1 (2) tc chain add dev eth0 (3) tc filter del dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1: prio 0 (4) tc filter add dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1: Fix the issue by accounting for additional reference to chains that are explicitly created by RTM_NEWCHAIN message as opposed to implicitly by RTM_NEWTFILTER message.

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.
