If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cd0a591e51fbac6cf0381cb56478f7aabf64b84c Author: Mike Pattrick <mkp@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 17 11:06:34 2022 -0400 openvswitch: Fix double reporting of drops in dropwatch [ Upstream commit 1100248a5c5ccd57059eb8d02ec077e839a23826 ] Frames sent to userspace can be reported as dropped in ovs_dp_process_packet, however, if they are dropped in the netlink code then netlink_attachskb will report the same frame as dropped. This patch checks for error codes which indicate that the frame has already been freed.
