After running a specific set of commands tc will become unresponsive:
$ ip link add dev DEV type veth
$ tc qdisc add dev DEV clsact
$ tc chain add dev DEV chain 0 ingress
$ tc filter del dev DEV ingress
$ tc filter add dev DEV ingress flower action pass
When executing chain flush the chain->flushing field is set to true, which
prevents insertion of new classifier instances. It is unset in one place
under two conditions: `refcnt - chain->action_refcnt == 0` and `!by_act`.
Ignoring the by_act and action_refcnt arguments the `flushing procedure`
will be over when refcnt is 0.
But if the chain is explicitly created (e.g. `tc chain add .. chain 0 ..`)
refcnt is set to 1 without any classifier instances. Thus the condition is
never met and the chain->flushing field is never cleared. And because the
default chain is `flushing` new classifiers cannot be added. tc_new_tfilter
is stuck in a loop trying to find a chain where chain->flushing is false.
Moving `chain->flushing = false` from __tcf_chain_put to the end of
tcf_chain_flush will avoid the condition and the field will always be reset
after the flush procedure.
