From 08d849ac4e7717d1d9ad4a442432d176df44ae43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 20:42:05 +0200 Subject: netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset() [ Upstream commit 124dff01afbdbff251f0385beca84ba1b9adda68 ] Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
