From 03292745b02d1166e2a215504407e096b8427be5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2012 06:15:22 +0000 Subject: netlink: add nlk->netlink_bind hook for module auto-loading This patch adds a hook in the binding path of netlink. This is used by ctnetlink to allow module autoloading for the case in which one user executes: conntrack -E So far, this resulted in nfnetlink loaded, but not nf_conntrack_netlink. I have received in the past many complains on this behaviour. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: David S.
