Hi, I'm attaching a test kernel module that reproduces this crash I'm seeing: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [...] [ 9120.221368] Call Trace: [ 9120.221530] [ 9120.221675] nf_ct_delete.part.0+0xa9/0x220 [nf_conntrack] [ 9120.222022] nf_ct_delete+0x21/0x30 [nf_conntrack] [ 9120.222334] my_hook.cold+0x6b/0xbd [netfilter_postrouting] [ 9120.222685] nf_hook_slow+0x45/0xf0 [ 9120.222920] ip_output+0x121/0x1b0 [ 9120.223145] ? path_openat+0x534/0x10a0 [ 9120.223394] ? ip_finish_output2+0x590/0x590 [ 9120.223668] __ip_queue_xmit+0x557/0x5b0 [ 9120.223921] ip_queue_xmit+0x15/0x20 [ 9120.224153] __tcp_transmit_skb+0xae1/0xcb0 [ 9120.224444] ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0x7f Steps to reproduce: 1. Build the kernel module. 2. insmod it. 3. iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT 4. Send a lot of data (I just use iperf -c -t 300). It should crash immediately. Maybe this is what you're trying to fix in "[PATCH nf 0/4] netfilter: conntrack: fix obscure confirmed race"? Thanks, Razvan
