[ Upstream commitdbf47a2a09] Action sample doesn't properly handle psample_group pointer in overwrite case. Following issues need to be fixed: - In tcf_sample_init() function RCU_INIT_POINTER() is used to set s->psample_group, even though we neither setting the pointer to NULL, nor preventing concurrent readers from accessing the pointer in some way. Use rcu_swap_protected() instead to safely reset the pointer. - Old value of s->psample_group is not released or deallocated in any way, which results resource leak. Use psample_group_put() on non-NULL value obtained with rcu_swap_protected(). - The function psample_group_put() that released reference to struct psample_group pointed by rcu-pointer s->psample_group doesn't respect rcu grace period when deallocating it. Extend struct psample_group with rcu head and use kfree_rcu when freeing it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
