Implementation of function rhashtable_insert_fast() check if its internal helper function __rhashtable_insert_fast() returns non-NULL pointer and seemingly return -EEXIST in such case. However, since __rhashtable_insert_fast() is called with NULL key pointer, it never actually checks for duplicates, which means that -EEXIST is never returned to the user. Use rhashtable_lookup_insert_fast() hash table API instead. In order to verify that it works as expected and prevent the problem from happening in future, extend tc-tests with new test that verifies that no new filters with existing key can be inserted to flower classifier.

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.
