[ Upstream commit 3ff4cbec87da48b0ec1f7b6196607b034de0c680 ]

this script, edited from Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control guide

tc q a dev en0 root handle 1: htb default a
tc c a dev en0 parent 1:  classid 1:1 htb rate 6mbit burst 15k
tc c a dev en0 parent 1:1 classid 1:a htb rate 5mbit ceil 6mbit burst 15k
tc c a dev en0 parent 1:1 classid 1:b htb rate 1mbit ceil 6mbit burst 15k
tc f a dev en0 parent 1:0 prio 1 $clsname $clsargs classid 1:b
ping $address -c1
tc -s c s dev en0

classifies traffic to 1:b or 1:a, depending on whether the packet matches
or not the pattern $clsargs of filter $clsname. However, when $clsname is
'matchall', a systematic crash can be observed in htb_classify(). HTB and
classful qdiscs don't assign initial value to struct tcf_result, but then
they expect it to contain valid values after filters have been run. Thus,
current 'matchall' ignores the TCA_MATCHALL_CLASSID attribute, configured
by user, and makes HTB (and classful qdiscs) dereference random pointers.

By assigning head->res to *res in mall_classify(), before the actions are
invoked, we fix this crash and enable TCA_MATCHALL_CLASSID functionality,
that had no effect on 'matchall' classifier since its first introduction.
