Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/11] netfilter: conntrack: Untangle drop and invalid counters
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:34:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927223436.269024-7-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927223436.269024-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
In nf_conntrack_in, 'drop' counter increments if
nf_conntrack_handle_packet returns NF_DROP. This is a special case with
TCP packets (added by commit 6b69fe0c73c0 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_tcp:
fix endless loop") and not related to invalid packets which are
responsible for all the other <=0 returns. So don't increment 'invalid'
ounter in this case.
