[PATCH net 05/17] netfilter: nft_lookup: fix catchall element handling with inverted lookups

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2026-07-08 14:03:42
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: Tamaki Yanagawa <redacted>

nft_lookup_eval() decides whether a lookup matched (`found`) from the
direct set lookup and priv->invert before falling back to the
catchall element used by interval sets (e.g. nft_set_rbtree) for the
open-ended default range. Since `found` is never recomputed after
`ext` is replaced by the catchall lookup, inverted lookups
(NFT_LOOKUP_F_INV, "!= @set") can wrongly match or wrongly skip the
catchall element, producing the wrong verdict. Fold the catchall
lookup into `ext` before computing `found`, matching the order
already used by nft_objref_map_eval().
