Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/15] netfilter: flowtable: do not hw offload flows in teardown state
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 04:12:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113031251.2437074-2-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113031251.2437074-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
Sashiko reports that refreshing hw offload from packet path is racy
since the flow might be already going away.
Since commit 7c549fb7eecd ("netfilter: flowtable: generalize pending
status bit"), GC skips flow entries that are still pending to be
offloaded. Let's just check for the teardown status bit after the
pending bit is set on to address this race.
