Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: conntrack: don't increment invalid counter on NF_REPEAT
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2022 21:37:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220113203758.22685-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)

The packet isn't invalid, REPEAT means we're trying again after cleaning
out a stale connection, e.g. via tcp tracker.

This caused increases of invalid stat counter in a test case involving
frequent connection reuse, even though no packet is actually invalid.

Fixes: 56a62e2218f5 ("netfilter: conntrack: fix NF_REPEAT handling")
