4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Davide Caratti <dcaratti@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f29cdfbe33d6915ba8056179b0041279a67e3647 ] tcf_skbmod_init() can fail after the idr has been successfully reserved. When this happens, every subsequent attempt to configure skbmod rules using the same idr value will systematically fail with -ENOSPC, unless the first attempt was done using the 'replace' keyword: # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory We have an error talking to the kernel # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device We have an error talking to the kernel # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device We have an error talking to the kernel ... Fix this in tcf_skbmod_init(), ensuring that tcf_idr_release() is called on the error path when the idr has been reserved, but not yet inserted. Also, don't test 'ovr' in the error path, to avoid a 'replace' failure implicitly become a 'delete' that leaks refcount in act_skbmod module: # rmmod act_skbmod; modprobe act_skbmod # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac continue index 100 RTNETLINK answers: File exists We have an error talking to the kernel # tc action replace action skbmod swap mac continue index 100 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory We have an error talking to the kernel # tc action list action skbmod # # rmmod act_skbmod rmmod: ERROR: Module act_skbmod is in use Fixes: 65a206c01e8e ("net/sched: Change act_api and act_xxx modules to use IDR") Acked-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Davide Caratti <dcaratti@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
