[PATCH net v2 0/4] net/sched: cls_route: fix bucket retention and handle recomputation

From: Victor Nogueira <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-07 19:21:41

Patch 1 is the v1 patch, unchanged. route4_change() can move an existing
filter to a different top-level bucket, since route4_set_parms()
recomputes the handle from TCA_ROUTE4_TO/FROM/IIF. The filter is
unlinked from the old bucket, but the bucket itself is never freed once
it goes empty, so route4_delete() keeps reporting *last=false after the
last live filter is gone. That pins the empty tcf_proto and leaks it.
The filters linked to a bucket are refcounted now, and the bucket is
dropped from head->table[] as soon as the count reaches zero.

Reviewing v1, Sashiko pointed out that the duplicate scan in
route4_set_parms() compares against the wrong handle [1]. Patches 2 and
3 fix the two symptoms of that.

Patch 2 makes the scan compare against nhandle. f->handle is the handle
the filter has before the update, not the one it is about to be linked
under, so a change that moves a filter into a chain already holding
nhandle misses the collision and links a second filter under the same
handle. The newcomer is then unreachable: route4_get() returns the
incumbent, and route4_classify() stops at the first filter whose f->id
matches.

Patch 3 handles the mirror case. An in-place replace computes an nhandle
that the filter being replaced already carries, so the scan finds that
filter and rejects the request with -EEXIST. The older filter is passed
to route4_set_parms() and skipped in the scan. Skipping it alone would
rename the filter it replaces: the 0x7F00 order bits are carried in no
attribute and were folded into nhandle on the create path alone, so an
order 1 filter came back as order 0, and a sibling sharing its key could
then no longer be replaced at all. They are carried over now whenever
the request builds the key the filter already has, which leaves a
request that does change the key renaming the filter as before.

Patch 4 adds tdc coverage for all three, including the cross-bucket move
case Sashiko noted route.json had no test for.
