Subject: [PATCH 2/3] xfrm: skip templates check for packet offload tunnel mode
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 10:41:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260220094133.14219-3-steffen.klassert@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260220094133.14219-1-steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>
In packet offload, hardware is responsible to check templates. The
result of its operation is forwarded through secpath by relevant
drivers. That secpath is actually removed in __xfrm_policy_check2().
In case packet is forwarded, this secpath is reset in RX, but pushed
again to TX where policy is rechecked again against dummy secpath
in xfrm_policy_ok().
Such situation causes to unexpected XfrmInTmplMismatch increase.
As a solution, simply skip template mismatch check.
Fixes: 600258d555f0 ("xfrm: delete intermediate secpath entry in packet offload mode")
