This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/sched: flower: Fix wrong handle assignment during filter change to the 6.3-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-sched-flower-fix-wrong-handle-assignment-during-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1eb6ef143b65e5adba92965acd9c71756589aa0e Author: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 25 16:06:04 2023 +0200 net/sched: flower: Fix wrong handle assignment during filter change [ Upstream commit 32eff6bacec2cb574677c15378169a9fa30043ef ] Commit 08a0063df3ae ("net/sched: flower: Move filter handle initialization earlier") moved filter handle initialization but an assignment of the handle to fnew->handle is done regardless of fold value. This is wrong because if fold != NULL (so fold->handle == handle) no new handle is allocated and passed handle is assigned to fnew->handle. Then if any subsequent action in fl_change() fails then the handle value is removed from IDR that is incorrect as we will have still valid old filter instance with handle that is not present in IDR. Fix this issue by moving the assignment so it is done only when passed fold == NULL.
