This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_tables: add rescheduling points during loop detection walks to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: netfilter-nf_tables-add-rescheduling-points-during-l.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4da556906e7409f356f4cf3c146829c771debbc8 Author: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jul 26 12:44:35 2022 +0200 netfilter: nf_tables: add rescheduling points during loop detection walks [ Upstream commit 81ea010667417ef3f218dfd99b69769fe66c2b67 ] Add explicit rescheduling points during ruleset walk. Switching to a faster algorithm is possible but this is a much smaller change, suitable for nf tree.
