Subject: [PATCH net-next 8/9] netfilter: nf_tables: call skb_valid_dst() before skb_dst()
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 17:34:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731153402.851224-9-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731153402.851224-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

When fetching the dst_entry from the skb, check if it valid, ie. this is
not a template dst, for extensions that can be used from the netdev
ingress and egress chains.
