Matteo Croce 594725db0c cls_cgroup: avoid panic when receiving a packet before filter set
When a cgroup classifier is added, there is a small time interval in
which tp->root is NULL. If we receive a packet in this small time slice
a NULL pointer dereference will happen, leading to a kernel panic:

    # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0
    # echo 0x100001 >  /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid
    # echo $$ >/sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/tasks
    # ping -qfb 255.255.255.255 -I eth0 &>/dev/null &
    # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10: htb
    # while : ; do
    > tc filter add dev eth0 parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
    > tc filter delete dev eth0
    > done

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.
