Subject: [PATCH net 03/14] netfilter: nft_fwd_netdev: use recursion counter in neigh egress path
Date: Fri,  1 May 2026 14:22:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501122237.296262-4-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260501122237.296262-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Weiming Shi <bestswngs@gmail.com>

nft_fwd_neigh can be used in egress chains (NF_NETDEV_EGRESS). When the
forwarding rule targets the same device or two devices forward to each
other, neigh_xmit() triggers dev_queue_xmit() which re-enters
nf_hook_egress(), causing infinite recursion and stack overflow.

Move the nf_get_nf_dup_skb_recursion() accessor and NF_RECURSION_LIMIT
to the shared header nf_dup_netdev.h as a static inline, so that
nft_fwd_netdev can use the recursion counter directly without exported
function call overhead. Guard neigh_xmit() with the same recursion
limit already used in nf_do_netdev_egress().

[ Updated to cache the nf_get_nf_dup_skb_recursion pointer. --pablo ]
