Davide Caratti bf92255468 net/sched: fix idr leak in the error path of tcf_skbmod_init()
[ Upstream commit f29cdfbe33d6915ba8056179b0041279a67e3647 ]

tcf_skbmod_init() can fail after the idr has been successfully reserved.
When this happens, every subsequent attempt to configure skbmod rules
using the same idr value will systematically fail with -ENOSPC, unless
the first attempt was done using the 'replace' keyword:

 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 ...

Fix this in tcf_skbmod_init(), ensuring that tcf_idr_release() is called
on the error path when the idr has been reserved, but not yet inserted.
Also, don't test 'ovr' in the error path, to avoid a 'replace' failure
implicitly become a 'delete' that leaks refcount in act_skbmod module:

 # rmmod act_skbmod; modprobe act_skbmod
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac continue index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: File exists
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action replace action skbmod swap mac continue index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action list action skbmod
 #
 # rmmod  act_skbmod
 rmmod: ERROR: Module act_skbmod is in use

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
