[ Upstream commit eb53f7af6f15285e2f6ada97285395343ce9f433 ]
The following sequence is currently broken:
# tc qdisc add dev foo ingress # tc filter replace dev foo protocol all ingress \ u32 match u8 0 0 action mirred egress mirror dev bar1 # tc filter replace dev foo protocol all ingress \ handle 800::800 pref 49152 \ u32 match u8 0 0 action mirred egress mirror dev bar2 Error: cls_u32: Key node flags do not match passed flags. We have an error talking to the kernel, -1
The error comes from u32_change() when comparing new and existing flags. The existing ones always contains one of TCA_CLS_FLAGS_{,NOT}_IN_HW flag depending on offloading state. These flags cannot be passed from userspace so the condition (n->flags != flags) in u32_change() always fails.
Fix the condition so the flags TCA_CLS_FLAGS_NOT_IN_HW and TCA_CLS_FLAGS_IN_HW are not taken into account.
