Hello David,

after some discussion[1] the suggestion was to keep the behaviour as
less intrusive as possible, thus I avoided any nf_reset() (and similar)
and I directly wrote my function that calls nf_bridge_put() only.

Do you think it is safe to use nf_reset() directly?
Pablo was worried about "strange" user configurations that may break
because of this.
(Even if somebody may argue that in this case user configurations are
probably broken, not the kernel :-) ).


Regards,
