[net-next PATCH v2 6/6] net sched: ife action fix late binding

[Jamal Hadi Salim]

From: Jamal Hadi Salim <j...@mojatatu.com>

The process below was broken and is fixed with this patch.

//add an ife action and give it an instance id of 1
sudo tc actions add action ife encode \
type 0xDEAD allow mark dst 02:15:15:15:15:15 index 1

//create a filter which binds to skbedit action id 1
sudo tc filter add dev $DEV parent ffff: protocol ip prio 1 u32\
match ip dst 17.0.0.1/32 flowid 1:11 action ife index 1

Message before fix was:
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
We have an error talking to the kernel
