[PATCH 6/6] netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: add missing vzeroupper
From: Eric Biggers
Date: Sat Aug 15 2026 - 17:01:14 EST
Since pipapo_get_avx2() uses YMM registers, execute vzeroupper before
returning from it. This is needed to avoid degrading the performance of
any later SSE code that may happen to be executed.
Fixes: 7400b063969b ("nft_set_pipapo: Introduce AVX2-based lookup implementation")
