From 43270b1bc5f1e33522dacf3d3b9175c29404c36c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2015 14:40:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: deprecate it in favour of xt_cluster xt_cluster supersedes ipt_CLUSTERIP since it can be also used in gateway configurations (not only from the backend side). ipt_CLUSTER is also known to leak the netdev that it uses on device removal, which requires a rather large fix to workaround the problem: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/358629/ So let's deprecate this so we can probably kill code this in the future.
