Davide Caratti ff9721d32b net/sched: act_mirred: validate the control action inside init()
the following script:

 # tc qdisc add dev crash0 clsact
 # tc filter add dev crash0 egress matchall \
 > action mirred ingress mirror dev lo pass
 # tc actions replace action mirred \
 > ingress mirror dev lo goto chain 42 index 90 cookie c1a0c1a0
 # tc actions show action mirred

had the following output:

 Error: Failed to init TC action chain.
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 total acts 1

         action order 0: mirred (Ingress Mirror to device lo) goto chain 42
         index 90 ref 2 bind 1
         cookie c1a0c1a0

Then, the first packet transmitted by crash0 made the kernel crash:

Validating the control action within tcf_mirred_init() proved to fix the
above issue. For the same reason, postpone the assignment of tcfa_action
and tcfm_eaction to avoid partial reconfiguration of a mirred rule when
it's replaced by another one that mirrors to a device that does not
exist. A TDC selftest is added to verify the correct behavior.

Fixes: db50514f9a ("net: sched: add termination action to allow goto chain")
Fixes: 97763dc0f4 ("net_sched: reject unknown tcfa_action values")

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.
