Subject: [PATCH nf-next] netfilter: flowtable: check namespace before iterating flows
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 16:17:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260909081705.1512600-1-qingfang.deng@linux.dev> (raw)
nf_flow_table_cleanup() walks every registered flow table, checking the
network namespace for each flow in nf_flow_table_do_cleanup(). As a
result, tables in other namespaces are still iterated and their cleanup
work is flushed.
Compare the flow table's namespace with the device's namespace in
nf_flow_table_cleanup() and skip nonmatching tables. This avoids
unnecessary iteration and work flushing, and leaves the per-flow cleanup
callback to check only the interface index.
