From: Jiri Pirko <j...@mellanox.com> The goto_chain termination action takes a reference of a chain. In that case, there is an issue when block_put is called tcf_chain_destroy directly. The follo-up call of tcf_chain_put by goto_chain action free works with memory that is already freed. This was caught by kasan:
