Subject: [PATCH 1/5] net: export __dev_fill_forward_path
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 14:32:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629123253.1912621-2-pawlik.dan@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629123253.1912621-1-pawlik.dan@gmail.com>
From: Ryan Chen <rchen14b@gmail.com>
Export __dev_fill_forward_path() which accepts a caller-supplied
net_device_path_ctx, allowing callers to pre-populate context (e.g.
VLAN state) before the forward path walk. The existing
dev_fill_forward_path() is refactored to call it.
This is a prerequisite for nft_flow_offload bridge offload, which needs
to supply a pre-populated ctx for bridge port devices.
