net: sched: fix err handler in tcf_action_init()
With recent changes that separated action module load from action initialization tcf_action_init() function error handling code was modified to manually release the loaded modules if loading/initialization of any further action in same batch failed. For the case when all modules successfully loaded and some of the actions were initialized before one of them failed in init handler. In this case for all previous actions the module will be released twice by the error handler: First time by the loop that manually calls module_put() for all ops, and second time by the action destroy code that puts the module after destroying the action. Reproduction: $ sudo tc actions add action simple sdata \"2\" index 2 $ sudo tc actions add action simple sdata \"1\" index 1 \ action simple sdata \"2\" index 2 RTNETLINK answers: File exists We have an error talking to the kernel $ sudo tc actions ls action simple total acts 1 action order 0: Simple <"2"> index 2 ref 1 bind 0 $ sudo tc actions flush action simple $ sudo tc actions ls action simple $ sudo tc actions add action simple sdata \"2\" index 2 Error: Failed to load TC action module. We have an error talking to the kernel $ lsmod | grep simple act_simple 20480 -1 Fix the issue by modifying module reference counting handling in action initialization code: - Get module reference in tcf_idr_create() and put it in tcf_idr_release() instead of taking over the reference held by the caller. - Modify users of tcf_action_init_1() to always release the module reference which they obtain before calling init function instead of assuming that created action takes over the reference. - Finally, modify tcf_action_init_1() to not release the module reference when overwriting existing action as this is no longer necessary since both upper and lower layers obtain and manage their own module references independently.
