Subject: [PATCH 6.12,6.6,6.1,5.15,5.10] netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: add missing vzeroupper
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 12:48:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831194829.148442-1-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
commit 55dd20f0f4b1be5c9c8a0275d8d763c86563eac2 upstream.
Since pipapo_get_avx2() uses YMM registers, execute vzeroupper before
returning from it. This is needed to avoid degrading the performance of
any later SSE code that may happen to be executed.
Fixes: 7400b063969b ("nft_set_pipapo: Introduce AVX2-based lookup implementation")
