When the parent of such\nqdiscs (eg illustrated in patch #3 as tbf) wants to retrieve an skb from\nits child (red in this case), it will do the following:\n 1a. do a peek() - and when sensing there's an skb the child can offer, then\n - the child in this case(red) calls its child's (qfq) peek.\n qfq does the right thing and will return the gso_skb queue packet.\n Note: if there wasnt a gso_skb entry then qfq will store it there.\n 1b. invoke a dequeue() on the child (red). And herein lies the problem.\n - red will call the child's dequeue() which will essentially just\n try to grab something of qfq's queue.\n\n[ 78.667668][ T363] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range
