[PATCH v2] net/sched: act_skbedit: fix divide-by-zero in tcf_skbedit_hash()

From: Ruitong Liu

Date: Wed Feb 11 2026 - 14:43:58 EST


Commit 38a6f0865796 ("net: sched: support hash selecting tx queue")
added SKBEDIT_F_TXQ_SKBHASH support. mapping_mod is computed as:

mapping_mod = queue_mapping_max - queue_mapping + 1;

mapping_mod is stored as u16, so the calculation can overflow when the
requested range covers 65536 queues (e.g. queue_mapping=0 and
queue_mapping_max=0xffff). In that case mapping_mod wraps to 0 and
tcf_skbedit_hash() triggers a divide-by-zero:

queue_mapping += skb_get_hash(skb) % params->mapping_mod;

Reject such invalid configuration to prevent mapping_mod from becoming
0 and avoid the crash.
