Davide Caratti says: ==================== net/sched: fix NULL dereference in 'goto chain' control action in a couple of TC actions (i.e. csum and tunnel_key), the control action is stored together with the action-specific configuration data. This avoids a race condition (see [1]), but it causes a crash when 'goto chain' is used with the above actions. Since this race condition is tolerated on the other TC actions (it's present even on actions where the spinlock is still used), storing the control action in the common area should be acceptable for tunnel_key and csum as well.

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.
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.
