Content-Disposition: inline; filename=ebtables-deal-with-the-worst-case-behaviour-in-loop-checks.patch Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1274 Lines: 36 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Al Viro No need to revisit a chain we'd already finished with during the check for current hook. It's either instant loop (which we'd just detected) or a duplicate work. Signed-off-by: Al Viro Signed-off-by: David S.
