Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: fix memory leak during insertion
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 13:59:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260411115908.1554282-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
net/netfilter/nft_set_rbtree.c:399 __nft_rbtree_insert()
warn: 'removed_end' is not an error pointer
Delete this incorrect test, we only want to know if the current element
was reaped.
This causes early "return-0", signalling a successful insertion of the
element, but no insertion was done.
Fixes: 087388278e0f ("netfilter: nf_tables: nft_set_rbtree: fix spurious
insertion failure")
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netfilter-devel/adjSaolTji0mPgqx@stanley.mountain/
