This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled netfilter: nf_tables: Audit log dump reset after the fact to the 6.10-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-audit-log-dump-reset-after-the-f.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 388e65f82de18a03f71553695a638644214f45e3 Author: Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 9 15:07:30 2024 +0200 netfilter: nf_tables: Audit log dump reset after the fact [ Upstream commit e0b6648b0446e59522819c75ba1dcb09e68d3e94 ] In theory, dumpreset may fail and invalidate the preceeding log message. Fix this and use the occasion to prepare for object reset locking, which benefits from a few unrelated changes: * Add an early call to nfnetlink_unicast if not resetting which effectively skips the audit logging but also unindents it. * Extract the table's name from the netlink attribute (which is verified via earlier table lookup) to not rely upon validity of the looked up table pointer. * Do not use local variable family, it will vanish.
