[PATCH 21/31] netfilter: NF_QUEUE vs emergency skbs

From: Suresh Jayaraman
Date: Thu Oct 01 2009 - 10:07:53 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@xxxxxxxxx>

Avoid memory getting stuck waiting for userspace, drop all emergency packets.
This of course requires the regular storage route to not include an NF_QUEUE
target ;-)
