    netfilter: ctnetlink: helper modules load-on-demand support · 226c0c0e
    Pablo Neira Ayuso 提交于
    This patch adds module loading for helpers via ctnetlink.
    
    * Creation path: We support explicit and implicit helper assignation. For
      the explicit case, we try to load the module. If the module is correctly
      loaded and the helper is present, we return EAGAIN to re-start the
      creation. Otherwise, we return EOPNOTSUPP.
    * Update path: release the spin lock, load the module and check. If it is
      present, then return EAGAIN to re-start the update.
    
    This patch provides a refactorized function to lookup-and-set the
    connection tracking helper. The function removes the exported symbol
    __nf_ct_helper_find as it has not clients anymore.
