Xiang Mei 942813276e net/sched: cls_flow: fix NULL pointer dereference on shared blocks 
[ Upstream commit 1a280dd4bd ]

flow_change() calls tcf_block_q() and dereferences q->handle to derive
a default baseclass.  Shared blocks leave block->q NULL, causing a NULL
deref when a flow filter without a fully qualified baseclass is created
on a shared block.

Check tcf_block_shared() before accessing block->q and return -EINVAL
for shared blocks.  This avoids the null-deref shown below:

=======================================================================
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000038-0x000000000000003f]
RIP: 0010:flow_change (net/sched/cls_flow.c:508)
Call Trace:
 tc_new_tfilter (net/sched/cls_api.c:2432)
 rtnetlink_rcv_msg (net/core/rtnetlink.c:6980)
 [...]

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
