Subject: [PATCH net-next 15/15] netfilter: nf_conntrack: use get_unaligned_be32() in tcp_sack()
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 11:49:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607094954.48892-16-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607094954.48892-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>
The timestamp-only fast path dereferences the option stream as
*(__be32 *)ptr, which assumes 4-byte alignment that the TCP option
stream does not guarantee. Use get_unaligned_be32() instead, which
reads the value safely and already returns host byte order, so the
htonl() on the comparison constant can be dropped.
This matches the existing get_unaligned_be32() use later in the same
function.
