      netfilter: defrag: only register defrag functionality if needed · 834184b1
      Florian Westphal authored
      nf_defrag modules for ipv4 and ipv6 export an empty stub function.
      Any module that needs the defragmentation hooks registered simply 'calls'
      this empty function to create a phony module dependency -- modprobe will
      then load the defrag module too.
      
      This extends netfilter ipv4/ipv6 defragmentation modules to delay the hook
      registration until the functionality is requested within a network namespace
      instead of module load time for all namespaces.
      
      Hooks are only un-registered on module unload or when a namespace that used
      such defrag functionality exits.
      
      We have to use struct net for this as the register hooks can be called
      before netns initialization here from the ipv4/ipv6 conntrack module
      init path.
      
      There is no unregister functionality support, defrag will always be
      active once it was requested inside a net namespace.
      
      The reason is that defrag has impact on nft and iptables rulesets
      (without defrag we might see framents).
