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.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
