From 9bf04646b0b41c5438ed8a27c5f8dbe0ff40d756 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 16:57:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: revert user-space expectation helper support This patch partially reverts: 3d058d7 netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle. After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01bef, that initially added the preliminary infrastructure. I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups. Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x development cycle that resolve the existing issues while providing a neat solution. Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know FOSS project (to my knowledge).
