Yes, and no. Control path is not as critical as datapath, I agree with
that, but it's also important. It's a small change, but oh well.. it
should accumulate on complex datapaths.

I meant something like this:

+     if (act_id < TCA_ID_DYN) {
+         read_lock(&act_mod_lock);
+
+         list_for_each_entry(a, &act_base, head) {
+                 if (a->id == act_id) {
+                         if (try_module_get(a->owner)) {
+                                 read_unlock(&act_mod_lock);
+                                 return a;
+                         }
+                         break; /* now break; is okay */
+                 }
+         }
+         read_unlock(&act_mod_lock);
+     } else {
+         read_lock(&base_net->act_mod_lock);
+
+         base_net = net_generic(net, dyn_act_net_id);
+         a = idr_find(&base_net->act_base, act_id);
+         if (a && try_module_get(a->owner))
+                 res = a;
+
+         read_unlock(&base_net->act_mod_lock);
+     }
