In the event of a failure in tcf_change_indev(), u32_set_parms() will
immediately return without decrementing the recently incremented
reference counter. If this happens enough times, the counter will
rollover and the reference freed, leading to a double free which can be
used to do 'bad things'.
In order to prevent this, move the point of possible failure above the
point where the reference counter is incremented. Also save any
meaningful return values to be applied to the return data at the
appropriate point in time.
This issue was caught with KASAN.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
