Subject: [PATCH net 13/14] netfilter: nft_ct: expectation timeouts are passed in milliseconds
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:15:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623221548.701545-14-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623221548.701545-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Userspace passes '5000' in case user asks for 5 seconds.
Allowing for sub-second expectation lifetimes makes sense to me. so
fix up the kernel side instead of munging nft to send a value rounded
up to next second.
Also note that this violates nft convention of passing integers in
network byte order, but we can't change this anymore.
Fixes: 857b46027d6f ("netfilter: nft_ct: add ct expectations support")
