    [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: automatic helper assignment for expectations · 9457d851
    Patrick McHardy authored
    
    
    Some helpers (namely H.323) manually assign further helpers to expected
    connections. This is not possible with nf_conntrack anymore since we
    need to know whether a helper is used at allocation time.
    
    Handle the helper assignment centrally, which allows to perform the
    correct allocation and as a nice side effect eliminates the need
    for the H.323 helper to fiddle with nf_conntrack_lock.
    
    Mid term the allocation scheme really needs to be redesigned since
    we do both the helper and expectation lookup _twice_ for every new
    connection.
