From 91c46e2e60da0b43a1e8740729737318862f64eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2005 15:10:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: Don't increase master refcount on expectations As it's been discussed [1][2]. We shouldn't increase the master conntrack refcount for non-fulfilled conntracks. During the conntrack destruction, the expectations are always killed before the conntrack itself, this guarantees that there won't be any orphan expectation.
