Hello,

I'm chasing down a nasty refcnt bug regarding connection tracking in 2.4.x kernels and since the nf_reset() patch for 2.6.x solving the same issue (commit: 9666dae51013b064e7d77fc36b5cee98dd167ed5) resulted in a major breakage of SO_ORIGINAL_DST support, a better patch was put in place (commit: 84531c24f27b02daa8e54e2bb6dc74a730fdf0a5). So far so good; I'd like to resolve the problem in 2.4.x as well but the last patch ported to 2.4.x does not help much.

So I started digging into nf_conntrack_{get,put} usage in both kernels and much to my surprise I found the following difference in core/skbuff.h:copy_skb_header:

2.6.x: nf_conntrack_get(old->nfct);
2.4.x: nf_conntrack_get(new->nfct);

Since the rest of the assignments match I was left wondering, which one is correct?

Regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
