Subject: [PATCH net v4 2/3] xfrm: set the address family before the early invalid-state drop
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 17:06:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018090638.55686-3-q.h.hack.winter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018090638.55686-1-q.h.hack.winter@gmail.com>
The early drop in xfrm_input() for a state that is no longer valid runs
while family is still AF_UNSPEC, so xfrm_rcv_cb() cannot find the
afinfo and the receive callback is never invoked for such a packet.
Set the family from the state before the check so that the drop path
dispatches the callback like every other drop does.
This is also a prerequisite for releasing the tunnel device reference
on that drop path in the next patch: without a family, the release
cannot tell an ip_tunnel from an ip6_tnl.
Fixes: 4ce3dbe397d7 ("xfrm: Fix xfrm_input() to verify state is valid when (encap_type < 0)")
