netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: resolve clash for unconfirmed conntracks
In nfqueue, two consecutive skbuffs may race to create the conntrack entry. Hence, the one that loses the race gets dropped due to clash in the insertion into the hashes from the nf_conntrack_confirm() path. This patch adds a new nf_conntrack_update() function which searches for possible clashes and resolve them. NAT mangling for the packet losing race is corrected by using the conntrack information that won race. In order to avoid direct module dependencies with conntrack and NAT, the nf_ct_hook and nf_nat_hook structures are used for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
