RE: can't change expectation: change_expect returns -1 (resend packet)

Sorry about that, here is the associated code:

conntrack:
exp->tuple = ((struct ip_conntrack_tuple)
		{ { 0, { 0 } },
		{ ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_ORIGINAL].tuple.src.ip, { .udp = {
htons(info->src_sdp_port) } },
		IPPROTO_UDP }});
exp->mask = ((struct ip_conntrack_tuple)
		{ { 0xFFFFFFFF, { .udp = { 0xFFFF } } },
		{ 0xFFFFFFFF, { .udp = { 0xFFFF } }, 0xFFFF }});
exp->expectfn = NULL;
DEBUGP("expect_related %u.%u.%u.%u:%u-%u.%u.%u.%u:%u\n",
			NIPQUAD(exp->tuple.dst.ip),
			ntohs(exp->tuple.dst.u.tcp.port),
			NIPQUAD(exp->tuple.src.ip),
			ntohs(exp->tuple.src.u.tcp.port));
ip_conntrack_expect_related(ct, &expect);

nat:
newtuple = exp->tuple;
newtuple.dst.ip = ct->tuplehash[IP_CT_DIR_REPLY].tuple.dst.ip;
DEBUGP("starting with port: %i\n",ct_sip_info->src_sdp_port);
for (port = ct_sip_info->src_sdp_port; port != 0; port++) {
	newtuple.dst.u.udp.port = htons(port);
	if (ip_conntrack_change_expect(exp, &newtuple)) break;
}
if (port == 0) DEBUGP("no free port found!\n");
