Subject: [PATCH nf-next,v2 5/5] netfilter: flowtable: release tunnel route on error when building forward path
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:59:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727115932.88335-5-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727115932.88335-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

nft_flow_tunnel_update_route() can lazy fail, leaving an incomplete
forward path set ip. The route lookup also happens twice, once from
dev_fill_forward_path() and again in this aforementioned function.

Update ipip and ip6ip6 not to release the dst_entry and pass it on
via the tunnel forward path information.

In case of failure when setting up the forwarding path, release the
tunnel dst that was provided via dev_fill_forward_path().

Acked-by: Lorenzo Bianconi <lorenzo@kernel.org>

v2: - fix missing dst_release() call in v6.
    - use dev_fill_forward_path_release() in err_out path.
