[RFC,1/5] net/sched: fix refcount leak when 'goto_chain' is used

Series net/sched: validate the control action with all the other parameters | expand

Commit Message

Davide Caratti Feb. 15, 2019, 11:06 p.m. UTC
when replacing valid 'goto chain' actions with another valid 'goto chain'
action, the kernel leaks chain->action_refcnt and chain->refcnt. Since we
unconditionally take the refcount again, if the control action is a 'goto
chain', we can just drop them after ->init() has ended successfully.

Fixes: db50514f9a9c ("net: sched: add termination action to allow goto chain")
