CVE-2021-47418

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net_sched: fix NULL deref in fifo_set_limit()

syzbot reported another NULL deref in fifo_set_limit() [1]

I could repro the issue with :

unshare -n
tc qd add dev lo root handle 1:0 tbf limit 200000 burst 70000 rate 100Mbit
tc qd replace dev lo parent 1:0 pfifo_fast
tc qd change dev lo root handle 1:0 tbf limit 300000 burst 70000 rate 100Mbit

pfifo_fast does not have a change() operation.
Make fifo_set_limit() more robust about this.
