Subject: net_sched: gact: Fix potential panic in tcf_gact().
From: Hiroaki SHIMODA <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 696ecdc10622d86541f2e35cc16e15b6b3b1b67e ]
gact_rand array is accessed by gact->tcfg_ptype whose value
is assumed to less than MAX_RAND, but any range checks are
not performed.
So add a check in tcf_gact_init(). And in tcf_gact(), we can
reduce a branch.
