      netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ctnetlink related crash in nf_nat_setup_info() · ceeff754
      Patrick McHardy authored
      When creation of a new conntrack entry in ctnetlink fails after having
      set up the NAT mappings, the conntrack has an extension area allocated
      that is not getting properly destroyed when freeing the conntrack again.
      This means the NAT extension is still in the bysource hash, causing a
      crash when walking over the hash chain the next time:

      Move invocation of the extension destructors to nf_conntrack_free()
      to fix this problem.

      netfilter: Make nflog quiet when no one listen in userspace. · b66985b1
      Eric Leblond authored
      The message "nf_log_packet: can't log since no backend logging module loaded
      in! Please either load one, or disable logging explicitly" was displayed for
      each logged packet when no userspace application is listening to nflog events.
      The message seems to warn for a problem with a kernel module missing but as
      said before this is not the case. I thus propose to suppress the message (I
      don't see any reason to flood the log because a user application has crashed.)
