[PATCH 5.8 124/124] net_sched: commit action insertions together

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 0fedc63fadf0404a729e73a35349481c8009c02f upstream.

syzbot is able to trigger a failure case inside the loop in
tcf_action_init(), and when this happens we clean up with
tcf_action_destroy(). But, as these actions are already inserted
into the global IDR, other parallel process could free them
before tcf_action_destroy(), then we will trigger a use-after-free.

Fix this by deferring the insertions even later, after the loop,
and committing all the insertions in a separate loop, so we will
never fail in the middle of the insertions any more.

One side effect is that the window between alloction and final
insertion becomes larger, now it is more likely that the loop in
tcf_del_walker() sees the placeholder -EBUSY pointer. So we have
to check for error pointer in tcf_del_walker().
