Well, maybe we're not in sync anymore regarding my test conducts:

Given, that
a1: wait-for-untracked-refs patch
a2: nf_reset patch


I have following test chart:


           |   a1 enabled   |  a1 disabled   |
-----------+----------------+----------------+
a2 enabled |  fix, no hang  |  not tested    |
-----------+----------------+----------------+
a2 disabled|    30s hang    |     crash      |
-----------+----------------+----------------+

Maybe the above sketch explains the confusion I might have created.

Pablo, shall I do it and submit for POM?

Hmm, is it possible to backport this to 2.4.x or do the changes need the 2.6.x
netfilter framework?
