Subject: [PATCH 2/2] netfilter: ctnetlink: fix scheduling while atomic if helper is autoloaded
Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2011 19:52:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324752768-5853-3-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1324752768-5853-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

This patch fixes one scheduling while atomic error:

[  385.565186] ctnetlink v0.93: registering with nfnetlink.
[  385.565349] BUG: scheduling while atomic: lt-expect_creat/16163/0x00000200

It can be triggered with utils/expect_create included in
libnetfilter_conntrack if the FTP helper is not loaded.
