- pass a pointer to struct tcf_proto in each actions's init() handler, to allow validating the control action, checking whether the chain exists and (eventually) refcounting it. - remove code that validates the control action after a successful call to the action's init() handler, and replace it with a test that forbids addition of actions having 'goto_chain' and NULL goto_chain pointer at the same time. - add tcf_action_check_ctrlact(), that will validate the control action and eventually allocate the action 'goto_chain' within the init() handler. - add tcf_action_set_ctrlact(), that will assign the control action and swap the current 'goto_chain' pointer with the new given one. This disallows 'goto_chain' on actions that don't initialize it properly in their init() handler, i.e. calling tcf_action_check_ctrlact() after successful IDR reservation and then calling tcf_action_set_ctrlact() to assign 'goto_chain' and 'tcf_action' consistently. By doing this, the kernel does not leak anymore refcounts when a valid 'goto chain' handle is replaced in TC actions, causing kmemleak splats like the following one: # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \ > ip_proto tcp action drop # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 43 ingress protocol ip flower \ > ip_proto udp action drop # tc filter add dev dd0 ingress matchall \ > action gact goto chain 42 index 66 # tc filter replace dev dd0 ingress matchall \ > action gact goto chain 43 index 66 # echo scan >/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak <...> unreferenced object 0xffff93c0ee09f000 (size 1024): comm "tc", pid 2565, jiffies 4295339808 (age 65.426s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 08 00 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<000000009b63f92d>] tc_ctl_chain+0x3d2/0x4c0 [<00000000683a8d72>] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x263/0x2d0 [<00000000ddd88f8e>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x4a/0x110 [<000000006126a348>] netlink_unicast+0x1a0/0x250 [<00000000b3340877>] netlink_sendmsg+0x2c1/0x3c0 [<00000000a25a2171>] sock_sendmsg+0x36/0x40 [<00000000f19ee1ec>] ___sys_sendmsg+0x280/0x2f0 [<00000000d0422042>] __sys_sendmsg+0x5e/0xa0 [<000000007a6c61f9>] do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x180 [<00000000ccd07542>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 [<0000000013eaa334>] 0xffffffffffffffff Fixes: |

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.
