Subject: [RFC PATCH] tc filter not show last u32 filter

"tc filter show" does not show last U32 filter on 32-bit systems (tested on x86).

Additional condition: filter does not have action and CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=y

Example: tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 100 u32 match ip dst 10.200.2.2 flowid 1:20

Function tcf_action_copy_stats() returns an error because the (struct tc_action *)a->priv is NULL (for 32bit systems).

The sequence of calls:

u32_dump()
   cls_u32.c:1009 if (tcf_exts_dump_stats(skb, &n->exts) < 0) goto nla_put_failure;

   tcf_exts_dump_stats()
      cls_api.c:606  if (tcf_action_copy_stats(skb, a, 1) < 0) return -1;

      tcf_action_copy_stats()
         act_api.c:604 struct tcf_common *p = a->priv;
         act_api.c:606 if (p == NULL) goto errout; // return -1;

One of variants correcting this error is a verify the existence of action before calling tcf_action_copy_stats().

Patch for kernel 3.18.10

This will fix the bug 84661 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84661

In 64bit system a->priv is not NULL, but is not a valid pointer, but because of a->type == 0 and
compat_mode == 1 returns a value 0.

"tc filter show dev eth0".
------------------------
tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 100 u32 match ip dst 10.200.2.2 flowid 1:20
tc filter add dev eth0 parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 100 u32 match ip dst 10.200.2.3 flowid 1:30
tc filter show dev eth0
....
(1) filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 100 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:20
   match 0ac80202/ffffffff at 16
(2) filter parent 1: protocol ip pref 100 u32 fh 800::801 order 2049 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:30
   match 0ac80203/ffffffff at 16
------------------------
64bit system
(1) a->priv == 0x80000800
(2) a->priv == 0x80000801

32bit system
(1) a->priv == 0x0
(2) a->priv == 0x0

I could not understand the reason for this difference between 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
