This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: stop GC iteration if GC transaction allocation fails to the 5.15-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-nft_set_pipapo-stop-gc-iteration-if-gc-tra.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 30ace644350cdf0ef19e6a2364d13838df648f9c Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 22 18:43:11 2023 +0200 netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: stop GC iteration if GC transaction allocation fails commit 6d365eabce3c018a80f6e0379b17df2abb17405e upstream. nft_trans_gc_queue_sync() enqueues the GC transaction and it allocates a new one. If this allocation fails, then stop this GC sync run and retry later.
