CVE-2025-38684: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net/sched: ets: use old 'nbands' while purging unused classes  Shuang reported sch_ets test-case [1] crashing in ets_class_qlen_notify() after recent changes from Lion [2]. The problem is: in ets_qdisc_change() we purge unused DWRR queues; the value of 'q->nbands' is the new one, and the cleanup should be done with the old one. The problem is here since my first attempts to fix ets_qdisc_change(), but it surfaced again after the recent qdisc len accounting fixes. Fix it purging idle DWRR queues before assigning a new value of 'q->nbands', so that all purge operations find a consistent configuration:   - old 'q->nbands' because it's needed by ets_class_find()  - old 'q->nstrict' because it's needed by ets_class_is_strict()   BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page  PGD 0 P4D 0  Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI  CPU: 62 UID: 0 PID: 39457 Comm: tc Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.12.0-116.el10.x86_64 #1 PREEMPT(voluntary)  Hardware name: Dell Inc.
