Subject: [PATCH net-next 03/11] netfilter: allow nfnetlink built-in only
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 20:29:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260525182924.28456-4-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260525182924.28456-1-fw@strlen.de>
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Netfilter has its own netlink multiplexer, initially only a few
subsystem were using it, most notably conntrack, queue and log,
later in time nf_tables. These days it is the control plane of
preference.
Just remove modular support for this, allow it built-in only.
