Subject: [patch 1/1] ctnetlink: compute generic part of event more acurately
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 22:25:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090325213123.842307488@jonathan.eitzenberger.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090325212521.149272388@jonathan.eitzenberger.org

[-- Attachment #1: ctnetlink-alloc-generic-event-more-acurately.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1891 bytes --]

On a box with most of the optional Netfilter switches turned off some
of the NLAs are never send, e. g. secmark, mark or the conntrack
byte/packet counters.  As a worst case scenario this may possibly
still lead to ctnetlink skbs being reallocated in netlink_trim()
later, loosing all the nice effects from the previous patches.

I try to solve that (at least partly) by correctly #ifdef'ing the
NLAs in the computation.
