I'm clearly misunderstanding something ...

With the current code:
- nf_hook returns 1, NF_HOOK invokes vrf_rcv_finish as the okfn, it
returns 0, skb passes on.

- nf_hook returns 0, vrf_rcv_finish has been called by the nf_hook tree,
vrf_rcv_finish returns 0, skb passes on

- nf_hook returns < 0,  vrf_rcv_finish is not called, skb is freed by
netfilter code, vrf_rcv_nfhook returns NULL

What am I missing?

With the above, if nf_hook returns 1, vrf_rcv_finish is not called.
