Subject: [PATCH RESEND nf 1/1] net/sched: cls_flower: avoid stale mask references after delete
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:51:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0fdcae6ac3e07afbbd43958f6b42e2ed6281e3d2.1773559972.git.z1652074432@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1773559972.git.z1652074432@gmail.com>

From: Yuhang Zheng <z1652074432@gmail.com>

cls_flower keeps filter and mask state separately. After a filter is
removed or replaced, some paths can still need the mask data associated
with that filter.

Cache the mask key and dissector in struct cls_fl_filter when the mask
is assigned, and use the cached copies in dump and offload paths. This
avoids depending on the external mask object's lifetime after delete or
replace.

Fixes: 061775583e35 ("net: sched: flower: introduce reference counting for filters")
