Victor Nogueira says: ==================== net: sched: Fixes for classifiers Four different classifiers (bpf, u32, matchall, and flower) are calling tcf_bind_filter in their callbacks, but arent't undoing it by calling tcf_unbind_filter if their was an error after binding. This patch set fixes all this by calling tcf_unbind_filter in such cases. This set also undoes a refcount decrement in cls_u32 when an update fails under specific conditions which are described in patch #3. v1 -> v2: * Remove blank line after fixes tag * Fix reverse xmas tree issues pointed out by Simon v2 -> v3: * Inline functions cls_bpf_set_parms and fl_set_parms to avoid adding yet another parameter (and a return value at it) to them. * Remove similar fixes for u32 and matchall, which will be sent soon, once we find a way to do the fixes without adding a return parameter to their set_parms functions. v3 -> v4: * Inline mall_set_parms to avoid adding yet another parameter. * Remove set_flags parameter from u32_set_parms and create a separate function for calling tcf_bind_filter and tcf_unbind_filter in case of failure. * Change cover letter title to also encompass refcnt fix for u32 v4 -> v5: * Change back tag to net ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
