From eda0b7f203bb166c98d1418b204135bd566ac83b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jamal Hadi Salim Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 08:25:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: Revert "net/sched: Restrict conditions for adding duplicating netems to qdisc tree" This reverts commit ec8e0e3d7adef940cdf9475e2352c0680189d14e. The original patch rejects any tree containing two netems when either has duplication set, even when they sit on unrelated classes of the same classful parent. That broke configurations that have worked since netem was introduced. The re-entrancy problem the original commit was trying to solve is handled by later patch using tc_depth flag. Doing this revert will (re)expose the original bug with multiple netem duplication. When this patch is backported make sure and get the full series.
