Revision 9666dae51013b064e7d77fc36b5cee98dd167ed5 authored by Patrick McHardy on 28 June 2005, 23:04:44 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 28 June 2005, 23:04:44 UTC
In 2.6.12 we started dropping the conntrack reference when a packet leaves the IP layer. This broke connection tracking on a bridge, because bridge-netfilter defers calling some NF_IP_* hooks to the bridge layer for locally generated packets going out a bridge, where the conntrack reference is no longer available. This patch keeps the reference in this case as a temporary solution, long term we will remove the defered hook calling. No attempt is made to drop the reference in the bridge-code when it is no longer needed, tc actions could already have sent the packet anywhere.
