It returned always NULL, thus it was never possible to get the filter. Example: $ ip link add foo type dummy $ ip link add bar type dummy $ tc qdisc add dev foo clsact $ tc filter add dev foo protocol all pref 1 ingress handle 1234 \ matchall action mirred ingress mirror dev bar Before the patch: $ tc filter get dev foo protocol all pref 1 ingress handle 1234 matchall Error: Specified filter handle not found. We have an error talking to the kernel After: $ tc filter get dev foo protocol all pref 1 ingress handle 1234 matchall filter ingress protocol all pref 1 matchall chain 0 handle 0x4d2 not_in_hw action order 1: mirred (Ingress Mirror to device bar) pipe index 1 ref 1 bind 1 CC: Yotam Gigi <yotamg@mellanox.com> CC: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Fixes: fd62d9f5c575 ("net/sched: matchall: Fix configuration race") Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
