Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] audit: add audit_log_nf_skb helper function
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:27:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721012751.3458464-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071526-proposal-crusher-04da@gregkh>

From: Ricardo Robaina <rrobaina@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit f19590b07cb620be1fcd5474c49515e21a05d406 ]

Netfilter code (net/netfilter/nft_log.c and net/netfilter/xt_AUDIT.c)
have to be kept in sync. Both source files had duplicated versions of
audit_ip4() and audit_ip6() functions, which can result in lack of
consistency and/or duplicated work.

This patch adds a helper function in audit.c that can be called by
netfilter code commonly, aiming to improve maintainability and
consistency.
