Subject: netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv4 does not show nf_nat as a user
Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:10:49 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <472F78C9.9060900@redhat.com> (raw)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333481#c3

This is netfilter kernel problem. There is a usage count for the conntrack_ipv4
module from the nf_nat module, which is not reported by lsmod.

How to reproduce:
# modprobe nf_conntrack_ipv4
# lsmod | grep nf_conntrack_ipv4
nf_conntrack_ipv4      11717  0 
nf_conntrack           51977  2 nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack_ipv6
nfnetlink               8281  3 nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_conntrack
# modprobe nf_nat
# lsmod | grep nf_conntrack_ipv4
nf_conntrack_ipv4      11717  1 
nf_conntrack           51977  3 nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack_ipv6
nfnetlink               8281  4 nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_co
nntrack
# lsmod | grep nf_nat
nf_nat                 18669  0 
nf_conntrack           51977  3 nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack_ipv6
nfnetlink               8281  4 nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_co
nntrack
# rmmod nf_conntrack_ipv4
ERROR: Module nf_conntrack_ipv4 is in use
# rmmod nf_nat
# rmmod nf_conntrack_ipv4
