Subject: [PATCH nf-next 10/10] netfilter: handle NF_REPEAT from nf_conntrack_in()
Date: Thu,  3 Nov 2016 13:37:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478176672-1334-10-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1478176672-1334-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org>

NF_REPEAT is only needed from nf_conntrack_in() under a very specific
case required by the TCP protocol tracker, we can handle this case
without returning to the core hook path. Handling of NF_REPEAT from the
nf_reinject() is left untouched.

Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

v1: New patch, not posted before, to get rid of NF_REPEAT handling from the
    core.
