[PATCH net 01/10] netfilter: nf_tables: Fix for duplicate device in netdev hooks

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2026-03-09 21:08:55
Also in: netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

When handling NETDEV_REGISTER notification, duplicate device
registration must be avoided since the device may have been added by
nft_netdev_hook_alloc() already when creating the hook.

Suggested-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
