It returned always NULL, thus it was never possible to get the filter.
Example:
$ ip link add foo type dummy
$ ip link add bar type dummy
$ tc qdisc add dev foo clsact
$ tc filter add dev foo protocol all pref 1 ingress handle 1234 \
matchall action mirred ingress mirror dev bar
Before the patch:
$ tc filter get dev foo protocol all pref 1 ingress handle 1234 matchall
Error: Specified filter handle not found.
We have an error talking to the kernel
After:
$ tc filter get dev foo protocol all pref 1 ingress handle 1234 matchall
filter ingress protocol all pref 1 matchall chain 0 handle 0x4d2
