From 0ad8404e776698de4dac5cc0df3be68d344e741c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 18:30:48 +0200 Subject: net: pass dst via net_device_path in dev_fill_forward_path() Add dst_entry to tunnel device path, this will allow us to remove a duplicated route lookup. This is a preparation patch to retrieve the tunnel route directly from the .fill_forward_path. This new dst_entry in the tunnel will be used by a follow up patch. Since dst_release() works fine on NULL interface, this is still noop until the flowtable starts using this. Add a new dev_fill_forward_path_release() function to drop the refcount on the tunnel device route and use it in case of error out. Export it so to drop the refcount on the tunnel route at a later stage. Adjust existing drivers that recycle dev_fill_forward_path() to call dev_fill_forward_path_release() for safety reasons.
