Subject: [PATCH nf-next] netfilter: flowtable: tear down flow entries with stale dst from GC
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 09:36:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710073610.1352167-1-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)

In case of route updates, tear down flow entries with stale dst to give
them a chance to obtain a fresh route.

This is specifically useful for hardware offloaded entries, where the
flowtable software dataplane sees no packet, where the existing check
for stale dst entries does not help.
