Subject: [PATCH net-next 03/12] net: netfilter: add ether_type to net_device_path_ctx and use it
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:40:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810194015.932627-4-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810194015.932627-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
Add an ether_type field to struct net_device_path_ctx to reject IPv4
over IPv6 and vice-versa, this is currently not support. Otherwise,
incorrect dst_entry family can be reached from datapath.
Acked-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>
