Subject: [PATCH 6.6 6.1 2/2] netfilter: nf_tables: Simplify chain netdev notifier
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 07:51:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925075128.646-5-junzheyu1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260925075128.646-1-junzheyu1@gmail.com>

From: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

commit 375f222800bc001bb9cbd2baa1daec006430aeba upstream.

With conditional chain deletion gone, callback code simplifies: Instead
of filling an nft_ctx object, just pass basechain to the per-chain
function. Also plain list_for_each_entry() is safe now.
