If the problem is that we lack of context from the delinearize path, then I would prefer if you scratch one bit from the fib flags to indicate that we want a true (1)/false (0) return value. Just like we plan to do with exthdr. This should require a small kernel patch for nft_fib I think. Thus, we can skip this ad hoc update for nft_cmp which seems to me that it's only there to help us get the context that we lack from the delinearize step. Then, from the delinearize path, if this fib/exthdr flag is set, we attach the corresponding datatype to the expression based on this new flag.
