Subject: [PATCH net-next 02/12] net: pass net_device_path_ctx to dev_fill_forward_path()
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:40:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810194015.932627-3-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810194015.932627-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo.bianconi@oss.qualcomm.com>

Refactor dev_fill_forward_path() to take a struct net_device_path_ctx
pointer instead of a (dev, daddr) pair, so the caller can build and
populate the context up front and keep it after the forward path walk.

This allows additional fields (e.g. vlan and ether_type) to be carried
in the context and shared with ndo_fill_forward_path implementations,
instead of being reconstructed on the stack inside the core helper.

Update the mtk_ppe_offload, airoha_ppe and nf_flow_table_path callers to
allocate and fill the context before invoking dev_fill_forward_path().
The network topology resolution behaviour is unchanged.

This is a preliminary patch to enable HW flowtable offload for IPv4
over IPv6 tunnels.
