[ Upstream commit 7be8ef2cdbfe41a2e524b7c6cc3f8e6cfaa906e4 ]
Currently init call of all actions (except ipt) init their 'parm'
structure as a direct pointer to nla data in skb. This leads to race
condition when some of the filter actions were initialized successfully
(and were assigned with idr action index that was written directly
into nla data), but then were deleted and retried (due to following
action module missing or classifier-initiated retry), in which case
action init code tries to insert action to idr with index that was
assigned on previous iteration. During retry the index can be reused
by another action that was inserted concurrently, which causes
unintended action sharing between filters.
To fix described race condition, save action idr index to temporary
stack-allocated variable instead on nla data.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
