Merge branch 'net-sched-fix-NULL-dereference-in-goto-chain-control-action'
Davide Caratti says: ==================== net/sched: fix NULL dereference in 'goto chain' control action in a couple of TC actions (i.e. csum and tunnel_key), the control action is stored together with the action-specific configuration data. This avoids a race condition (see [1]), but it causes a crash when 'goto chain' is used with the above actions. Since this race condition is tolerated on the other TC actions (it's present even on actions where the spinlock is still used), storing the control action in the common area should be acceptable for tunnel_key and csum as well.
