Subject: [PATCH net-next 07/11] net/sched: act_ct: set net pointer before publishing flowtable
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:34:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927223436.269024-8-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260927223436.269024-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Qingfang Deng <qingfang.deng@linux.dev>

nf_flow_table_init() adds the flowtable to the global flowtables list.
However, tcf_ct_flow_table_get() sets the table's network namespace only
after that call, leaving a window where the published table has a NULL
namespace pointer.

Set the namespace before calling nf_flow_table_init() so that flowtable
list walkers can rely on it being initialized.

This is required by:
"netfilter: flowtable: check namespace before iterating flows"
