While looking at TC_ACT_* handling, the TC_ACT_CONSUMED is only handled in sch_handle_ingress but not sch_handle_egress. This was added viacd11b16407("net/tc: introduce TC_ACT_REINSERT.") ande5cf1baf92("act_mirred: use TC_ACT_REINSERT when possible") and later got renamed into TC_ACT_CONSUMED via720f22fed8("net: sched: refactor reinsert action"). The initial work was targeted for ovs back then and only needed on ingress, and the mirred action module also restricts it to only that. However, given it's an API contract it would still make sense to make this consistent to sch_handle_ingress and handle it on egress side in the same way, that is, setting return code to "success" and returning NULL back to the caller as otherwise an action module sitting on egress returning TC_ACT_CONSUMED could lead to an UAF when untreated.

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.
