Subject: [PATCH net-next 03/14] netfilter: nft_fib_ipv6: switch to fib6_lookup
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 12:49:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304114921.31042-4-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304114921.31042-1-fw@strlen.de>
Existing code works but it requires a temporary dst object that is
released again right away.
Switch to fib6_lookup + RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF: no need for temporary dst
objects and refcount overhead anymore.
Provides ~13% improvement in match performance.
