Subject: [PATCH netfilter] Fix hw flow offload from nftables
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2023 11:13:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231023101347.564898-1-donald.hunter@gmail.com> (raw)

The NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED bit was not getting set in any nftables code
paths. It seems that the state was never correctly maintained but there
was no negative side-effect until commit 41f2c7c342d3 ("net/sched:
act_ct: Fix promotion of offloaded unreplied tuple") which uses it as
part of a flow outdated check. The net result is repeated cycles of
FLOW_CLS_REPLACE / FLOW_CLS_DESTROY commands and never getting any
FLOW_CLS_STATS commands for a flow.

This patch sets and clears the NF_FLOW_HW_ESTABLISHED bit for nftables.

Note that I don't have hardware to test this with. I have observed
the behaviour and verified the fix with modified veth code.
