[ Upstream commit da71714e359b64bd7aab3bd56ec53f307f058133 ]
When replacing an existing root qdisc, with one that is of the same kind, the
request boils down to essentially a parameterization change i.e not one that
requires allocation and grafting of a new qdisc. syzbot was able to create a
scenario which resulted in a taprio qdisc replacing an existing taprio qdisc
with a combination of NLM_F_CREATE, NLM_F_REPLACE and NLM_F_EXCL leading to
create and graft scenario.
The fix ensures that only when the qdisc kinds are different that we should
allow a create and graft, otherwise it goes into the "change" codepath.
While at it, fix the code and comments to improve readability.
While syzbot was able to create the issue, it did not zone on the root cause.
Analysis from Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> helped narrow it down.
v1->V2 changes:
- remove "inline" function definition (Vladmir)
- remove extrenous braces in branches (Vladmir)
- change inline function names (Pedro)
- Run tdc tests (Victor)
v2->v3 changes:
- dont break else/if (Simon)

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.
