[ Upstream commitfe384e2fa3] callers of tcf_gact_goto_chain_index() can potentially read an old value of the chain index, or even dereference a NULL 'goto_chain' pointer, because 'goto_chain' and 'tcfa_action' are read in the traffic path without caring of concurrent write in the control path. The most recent value of chain index can be read also from a->tcfa_action (it's encoded there together with TC_ACT_GOTO_CHAIN bits), so we don't really need to dereference 'goto_chain': just read the chain id from the control action.

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.
