Subject: [PATCH 09/10] xfrm: Prevent locally generated packets from direct output in tunnel mode
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 09:52:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118085344.2199815-10-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251118085344.2199815-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Jianbo Liu <jianbol@nvidia.com>
Add a check to ensure locally generated packets (skb->sk != NULL) do
not use direct output in tunnel mode, as these packets require proper
L2 header setup that is handled by the normal XFRM processing path.
Fixes: 5eddd76ec2fd ("xfrm: fix tunnel mode TX datapath in packet offload mode")
