From 7047f9d052c379e14b7693bb9f1b766827d0bc40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 18:42:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: take AF module reference when creating a table The table refers to data of the AF module, so we need to make sure the module isn't unloaded while the table exists.
