commit 6855e8213e06efcaf7c02a15e12b1ae64b9a7149 upstream.
Currently, action creation using ACT API in replace mode is buggy.
When invoking for non-existent action index 42,
tc action replace action bpf obj foo.o sec <xyz> index 42
kernel creates the action, fills up the netlink response, and then just
deletes the action after notifying userspace.
tc action show action bpf
doesn't list the action.
This happens due to the following sequence when ovr = 1 (replace mode)
is enabled:
tcf_idr_check_alloc is used to atomically check and either obtain
reference for existing action at index, or reserve the index slot using
a dummy entry (ERR_PTR(-EBUSY)).
This is necessary as pointers to these actions will be held after
dropping the idrinfo lock, so bumping the reference count is necessary
as we need to insert the actions, and notify userspace by dumping their
attributes. Finally, we drop the reference we took using the
tcf_action_put_many call in tcf_action_add. However, for the case where
a new action is created due to free index, its refcount remains one.
This when paired with the put_many call leads to the kernel setting up
the action, notifying userspace of its creation, and then tearing it
down. For existing actions, the refcount is still held so they remain
unaffected.
Fortunately due to rtnl_lock serialization requirement, such an action
with refcount == 1 will not be concurrently deleted by anything else, at
best CLS API can move its refcount up and down by binding to it after it
has been published from tcf_idr_insert_many. Since refcount is atleast
one until put_many call, CLS API cannot delete it. Also __tcf_action_put
release path already ensures deterministic outcome (either new action
will be created or existing action will be reused in case CLS API tries
to bind to action concurrently) due to idr lock serialization.
We fix this by making refcount of newly created actions as 2 in ACT API
replace mode. A relaxed store will suffice as visibility is ensured only
after the tcf_idr_insert_many call.
Note that in case of creation or overwriting using CLS API only (i.e.
bind = 1), overwriting existing action object is not allowed, and any
such request is silently ignored (without error).
The refcount bump that occurs in tcf_idr_check_alloc call there for
existing action will pair with tcf_exts_destroy call made from the
owner module for the same action. In case of action creation, there
is no existing action, so no tcf_exts_destroy callback happens.
This means no code changes for CLS API.

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.
