[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 79/86] netfilter: nf_log: don't zap all loggers on unregister

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Oct 27 2015 - 17:50:58 EST


3.19.8-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 205ee117d4dc4a11ac3bd9638bb9b2e839f4de9a upstream.

like nf_log_unset, nf_log_unregister must not reset the list of loggers.
Otherwise, a call to nf_log_unregister() will render loggers of other nf
protocols unusable:

iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
modprobe nf_log_arp ; rmmod nf_log_arp
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Fixes: 30e0c6a6be ("netfilter: nf_log: prepare net namespace support for loggers")
