Subject: [PATCH net-next 11/12] netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: bail out on insert dead expectations
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:40:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810194015.932627-12-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810194015.932627-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

If the NF_CT_EXPECT_DEAD expectation flag is set on, bail out on
insertion. Moreover, add also DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE() since this should
not ever happen. This is hardening commit b8b09dc2bf35 ("netfilter:
nf_conntrack_expect: use conntrack GC to reap expectations").
