Summary
net/sched: act_api: avoid dereferencing ERR_PTR in tcf_idrinfo_destroy
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: actapi: avoid dereferencing ERRPTR in tcfidrinfodestroy

syzbot reported a crash in tcactinhw() during netns teardown where tcfidrinfodestroy() passed an ERRPTR(-EBUSY) value as a tc_action pointer, leading to an invalid dereference.

Guard against ERRPTR entries when iterating the action IDR so teardown does not call tcactinhw() on an error pointer.
