Subject: [PATCH v2] netfilter: xt_HL: add pr_fmt, drop NULL checks, add checkentry validation
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 22:03:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260403200320.90449-1-marino.dzalto@gmail.com> (raw)
Add pr_fmt for module-prefixed log messages. Remove unnecessary NULL
checks for skb, as netfilter core guarantees skb is non-NULL. Add
checkentry functions to validate match mode at rule registration time.
