From 279072882dc0149e5740dace075e1a49f087046d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:18:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries" This reverts commit af14cca162ddcdea017b648c21b9b091e4bf1fa4. This patch contains a race condition between packets and ctnetlink in the conntrack addition. A new patch to fix this issue follows up.
