The attach callback of struct Qdisc_ops is used by only a few qdiscs:
mq, mqprio and htb. qdisc_graft() contains the following logic
(pseudocode):
if (!qdisc->ops->attach) {
if (ingress)
do ingress stuff;
else
do egress stuff;
}
if (!ingress) {
...
if (qdisc->ops->attach)
qdisc->ops->attach(qdisc);
} else {
...
}
As we see, the attach callback is not called if the qdisc is being
attached to ingress (TC_H_INGRESS). That wasn't a problem for mq and
mqprio, since they contain a check that they are attached to TC_H_ROOT,
and they can't be attached to TC_H_INGRESS anyway.
However, the commit cited below added the attach callback to htb. It is
needed for the hardware offload, but in the non-offload mode it
simulates the "do egress stuff" part of the pseudocode above. The
problem is that when htb is attached to ingress, neither "do ingress
stuff" nor attach() is called. It results in an inconsistency, and the
following message is printed to dmesg:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo to become free. Usage count = 2
This commit addresses the issue by running "do ingress stuff" in the
ingress flow even in the attach callback is present, which is fine,
because attach isn't going to be called afterwards.
The bug was found by syzbot and reported by Eric.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
