[PATCH net] netfilter: ctnetlink: use nf_ct_exp_net() in expectation dump

From: Pratham Gupta

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 01:13:02 EST


Commit 02a3231b6d82 ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: store netns and zone in expectation")
introduced exp->net so RCU-only expectation paths no longer need to
dereference exp->master for netns lookups.

Commit 3db5647984de ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: skip expectations in other netns via proc")
updated the proc path accordingly, but ctnetlink_exp_dump_table() still
compares against nf_ct_net(exp->master).

Use nf_ct_exp_net(exp) here as well so the netlink dump path matches
the rest of the March 2026 expectation netns/RCU cleanup.

Tested expectation create/dump/delete on the host and in fresh Ubuntu 24.04
Docker userspace. Concurrent namespace churn/dump testing did not reproduce
a cross-netns leak.
