Hi Ido,

Thanks for reporting this.

I looked at the code and problem seems to be matchall classifier
specific. My implementation of unlocked cls API assumes that concurrent
insertions are possible and checks for it when deleting "empty" tp.
Since classifiers don't expose number of elements, the only way to test
this is to do tp->walk() on them and assume that walk callback is called
once per filter on every classifier. In your example new tp is created
for second filter, filter insertion fails, number of elements on newly
created tp is checked with tp->walk() before deleting it. However,
matchall classifier always calls the tp->walk() callback once, even when
it doesn't have a valid filter (in this case with NULL filter pointer).

Possible ways to fix this:

1) Check for NULL filter pointer in tp->walk() callback and ignore it
when counting filters on tp - will work but I don't like it because I
don't think it is ever correct to call tp->walk() callback with NULL
filter pointer.

2) Fix matchall to not call tp->walk() callback with NULL filter
pointers - my preferred simple solution.

3) Extend tp API to have direct way to count filters by implementing
tp->count - requires change to every classifier. Or maybe add it as
optional API that only unlocked classifiers are required to implement
and just delete rtnl lock dependent tp's without checking for concurrent
insertions.

What do you think?

Regards,
Vlad
