Hi,
The new netlink interface allows to add NAT directly to a conntrack entry.
If it is used when the moudule nf-nat-ipv4 is not loaded in, it results in
crash:
BUG: scheduling while atomic
It is in the kernels 2.6.28 and 2.6.28.1 in the function
ctnetlink_parse_nat_setup(): it calls request_module() which causes the
problem. If the module is already loaded, then there is no problem.
Regards:
K. Gy.

Thanks for the report. Does this patch fix it?
