    vrf: Fix fast path output packet handling with async Netfilter rules · 9e2b7fa2
    Martin Willi authored
    VRF devices use an optimized direct path on output if a default qdisc
    is involved, calling Netfilter hooks directly. This path, however, does
    not consider Netfilter rules completing asynchronously, such as with
    NFQUEUE. The Netfilter okfn() is called for asynchronously accepted
    packets, but the VRF never passes that packet down the stack to send
    it out over the slave device. Using the slower redirect path for this
    seems not feasible, as we do not know beforehand if a Netfilter hook
    has asynchronously completing rules.
    
    Fix the use of asynchronously completing Netfilter rules in OUTPUT and
    POSTROUTING by using a special completion function that additionally
    calls dst_output() to pass the packet down the stack. Also, slightly
    adjust the use of nf_reset_ct() so that is called in the asynchronous
    case, too.
