From cbf56c29624fa056a0c1c3d177e67aa51a7fd8d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davide Caratti Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 15:45:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: act_ife: preserve the action control in case of error in the following script # tc actions add action ife encode allow prio pass index 42 # tc actions replace action ife encode allow tcindex drop index 42 the action control should remain equal to 'pass', if the kernel failed to replace the TC action. Pospone the assignment of the action control, to ensure it is not overwritten in the error path of tcf_ife_init().
