Subject: [PATCH net 7/9] net/sched: act_mirred: Fix skb leak in early mirred redirect returns
Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2026 15:09:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260426190916.128489-8-jhs@mojatatu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260426190916.128489-1-jhs@mojatatu.com>

From: Victor Nogueira <victor@mojatatu.com>

Since retval is set as TC_ACT_STOLEN in the mirred redirect case,
returning retval in cases where redirect failed will make the core
code not free the skb and thus cause a leak.

Fix this by returning TC_ACT_SHOT instead in such scenarios.

Fixes: 16085e48cb48 ("net/sched: act_mirred: Create function tcf_mirred_to_dev and improve readability")
