Subject: [PATCH bpf v1] selftests/bpf: Fix a memory leak in xdp_flowtable test
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:33:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225003351.465104-1-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev> (raw)

Fix by properly destroying bpf_link on exit in xdp_flowtable test.

This should've been part of the recent series. I missed this locally
because the test is skipped if nftables is not installed.
