linux-stable.git/net/netfilter/utils.c, branch v4.18 Linux kernel stable tree netfilter: move reroute indirection to struct nf_ipv6_ops 2018-01-08T17:10:53+00:00 Pablo Neira Ayuso pablo@netfilter.org 2017-11-27T21:50:26+00:00 ce388f452f0af2013c657dd24be4415d94e7704f We cannot make a direct call to nf_ip6_reroute() because that would result in autoloading the 'ipv6' module because of symbol dependencies. Therefore, define reroute indirection in nf_ipv6_ops where this really belongs to. For IPv4, we can indeed make a direct function call, which is faster, given IPv4 is built-in in the networking code by default. Still, CONFIG_INET=n and CONFIG_NETFILTER=y is possible, so define empty inline stub for IPv4 in such case. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
