net/sched: cls_fw: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks

Browse source

[ Upstream commit faeea8bbf6 ]

The old-method path in fw_classify() calls tcf_block_q() and
dereferences q->handle.  Shared blocks leave block->q NULL, causing a
NULL deref when an empty cls_fw filter is attached to a shared block
and a packet with a nonzero major skb mark is classified.

Reject the configuration in fw_change() when the old method (no
TCA_OPTIONS) is used on a shared block, since fw_classify()'s
old-method path needs block->q which is NULL for shared blocks.

The fixed null-ptr-deref calling stack:
 KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f]
 RIP: 0010:fw_classify (net/sched/cls_fw.c:81)
