From 7663f18807805f02608457af8e2f59eee5d910fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yasuyuki Kozakai Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 20:24:15 -0700 Subject: [NETFILTER]: return ENOMEM when ip_conntrack_alloc() fails. This patch fixes the bug which doesn't return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) if it failed to allocate memory space from slab cache. This bug leads to erroneously not dropped packets under stress, and wrong statistic counters ('invalid' is incremented instead of 'drop'). It was introduced during the ctnetlink merge in the net-2.6.14 tree, so no stable or mainline releases affected. Signed-off-by: Yasuyuki Kozakai Signed-off-by: Harald Welte Signed-off-by: David S.
