    net: sched: fix action overwrite reference counting · 87c750e8
    Vlad Buslov authored
    Action init code increments reference counter when it changes an action.
    This is the desired behavior for cls API which needs to obtain action
    reference for every classifier that points to action. However, act API just
    needs to change the action and releases the reference before returning.
    This sequence breaks when the requested action doesn't exist, which causes
    act API init code to create new action with specified index, but action is
    still released before returning and is deleted (unless it was referenced
    concurrently by cls API).
    
    Reproduction:
    
    $ sudo tc actions ls action gact
    $ sudo tc actions change action gact drop index 1
    $ sudo tc actions ls action gact
    
    Extend tcf_action_init() to accept 'init_res' array and initialize it with
    action->ops->init() result. In tcf_action_add() remove pointers to created
    actions from actions array before passing it to tcf_action_put_many().
