Hi,

Well, xt_state doesn't depends on nf_conntrack_ipv4, it can also be use 
nf_conntrack_ipv6 or any other module you write yourself. The thing is that 
without nf_conntrack_ipv4 (or *_ipv6), it uses nf_conntrack_l3proto_generic, 
which won't be tracked, because get_l4proto(...) returns -NF_ACCEPT.

Maybe it would be nice to return NF_ACCEPT,  and then handle it with the 
generic layer 4 protocol handler. (set *protonum = 255 and let *dataoff 
unchanged)

Just a little suggestion.

Have a nice day.
