4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4f8a881acc9d1adaf1e552349a0b1df28933a04c ]
As we know in some target's checkentry it may dereference par.entryinfo
to check entry stuff inside. But when sched action calls xt_check_target,
par.entryinfo is set with NULL. It would cause kernel panic when calling
some targets.
It can be reproduce with:
# tc qd add dev eth1 ingress handle ffff:
# tc filter add dev eth1 parent ffff: u32 match u32 0 0 action xt \
-j ECN --ecn-tcp-remove
It could also crash kernel when using target CLUSTERIP or TPROXY.
By now there's no proper value for par.entryinfo in ipt_init_target,
but it can not be set with NULL. This patch is to void all these
panics by setting it with an ipt_entry obj with all members = 0.
Note that this issue has been there since the very beginning.
