Subject: netfilter: ctnetlink: fix creation of conntrack with helpers
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a88e22adf5aad79b6e2ddd1bf0109c2ba8b46b0e;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

netfilter: ctnetlink: fix creation of conntrack with helpers

This patch fixes a bug that triggers an assertion if you create
a conntrack entry with a helper and netfilter debugging is enabled.
Basically, we hit the assertion because the confirmation flag is
set before the conntrack extensions are added. To fix this, we
move the extension addition before the aforementioned flag is
set.

This patch also removes the possibility of setting a helper for
existing conntracks. This operation would also trigger the
assertion since we are not allowed to add new extensions for
existing conntracks. We know noone that could benefit from
this operation sanely.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet for initial posting a preliminary patch
to address this issue.
