Subject: [PATCH -stable,5.15 1/3] netfilter: nf_tables: pass nft_chain to destroy function, not nft_ctx
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 01:35:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250519233515.25539-2-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250519233515.25539-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
commit 8965d42bcf54d42cbc72fe34a9d0ec3f8527debd upstream.
It would be better to not store nft_ctx inside nft_trans object,
the netlink ctx strucutre is huge and most of its information is
never needed in places that use trans->ctx.
Avoid/reduce its usage if possible, no runtime behaviour change
intended.
