Subject: [PATCH nf-next 2/2] netfilter: add nf_sk_to_full_sk helper and use it
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 14:06:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001120625.29659-3-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001120625.29659-1-fw@strlen.de>
Some callers of these helpers pass skb->sk as sk_partial argument, but
for LOCAL_OUT path an IP tunnel transmits while preserving the original
skb owner, so a non-INET socket (e.g. PF_PACKET) can reach these.
Like previous patch, add a helper to also check for this case.
Related to LLM finding in the earlier patch when querying the agent about
other possible scenarios.
