Commit 9fd3f0b255d9 ("tc: enable json output for actions") added JSON support for tc-actions at the expense of breaking other use cases that reach tc_print_action(), as the latter don't expect the 'actions' array to be a new object.
Consider the following taken duringrun of tc_chain.sh selftest, and see the latter command output is broken: $ ./tc/tc -j -p actions list action gact | grep -C 3 actions [ { "total acts": 1 },{ "actions": [ { "order": 0, $ ./tc/tc -p -j -s filter show dev enp3s0np2 ingress | grep -C 3 actions }, "skip_hw": true, "not_in_hw": true,{ "actions": [ { "order": 1, "kind": "gact", "control_action": { Relocate the open/close of the JSON object to declare the object only for the case that needs it.
