Subject: [PATCH net 04/11] netfilter: nf_tables: join hook list via splice_list_rcu() in commit phase
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 21:05:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424190513.32823-5-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424190513.32823-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
Publish new hooks in the list into the basechain/flowtable using
splice_list_rcu() to ensure netlink dump list traversal via rcu is safe
while concurrent ruleset update is going on.
Fixes: 78d9f48f7f44 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add devices to existing flowtable")
Fixes: b9703ed44ffb ("netfilter: nf_tables: support for adding new devices to an existing netdev chain")
