2.6.23-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru>

This patch fixes a NAT regression in 2.6.23, resulting in a
crash when a connection is NATed and matches a conntrack
helper after NAT.

Please apply, thanks.
[NETFILTER]: Fix kernel panic with REDIRECT target.

Upstream commit 1f305323ff5b9ddc1a4346d36072bcdb58f3f68a

When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can
have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and
thus not required to be copied.

Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from
nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced.

Report and testing from David <david@unsolicited.net>.

[ Patrick McHardy states:

I now understand whats happening:

- new connection is allocated without helper
- connection is REDIRECTed to localhost
- nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet
- nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the
new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension,
causing reallocation because of too little space
- nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension

So your fix is entirely correct, thanks a lot :) ]
