Subject: [PATCH net-next 6/7] netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: store event cache in expectation
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:49:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724104932.437729-7-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724104932.437729-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

Store the event cache in the expectation instead of accessing the
exp->master cache, as a step forward towards turning the exp->master
into a cookie.
