Series [nf,v4] netfilter: nf_tables: fix device name and prefix match in hook lookup | expand

Commit Message

Fernando Fernandez Mancera Aug. 27, 2026, 10:32 a.m. UTC
Currently, a netdev chain or flowtable hooked to a device prefix can be
unintentionally deleted by a control-plane request targeting an exact
device name or even a shorter one due to the usage of min() to calculate
the length to match.

Fix this by making sure an exact device match never matches a prefix and
that both the target and the candidate have the same length during
delete operation. The add and update paths retain the existing overlap
matching to prevent a single device from matching multiple hooks.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netfilter-devel/CANE+tVrDeNCHQVmsqkV2ozeBqyE3GtRDMhZgsg1bhw10yGNTRQ@mail.gmail.com/
Fixes: 6d07a289504a ("netfilter: nf_tables: Support wildcard netdev hook specs")
Signed-off-by: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>
---
Note: the inconsistency between hook and flowtables detection for
duplicate/overlapping devices will be handled in a separated patch in
nf-next
