Subject: [PATCH 27/29] net: sched: fix cleanup NULL pointer exception in act_mirr

From: John Hurley <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2019 12:37:35 +0000

[ Upstream commit 064c5d6881e897077639e04973de26440ee205e6 ]

A new mirred action is created by the tcf_mirred_init function. This
contains a list head struct which is inserted into a global list on
successful creation of a new action. However, after a creation, it is
still possible to error out and call the tcf_idr_release function. This,
in turn, calls the act_mirr cleanup function via __tcf_idr_release and
__tcf_action_put. This cleanup function tries to delete the list entry
which is as yet uninitialised, leading to a NULL pointer exception.

Fix this by initialising the list entry on creation of a new action.

Bug report:
