Jan? The check for TCP_CONNTRACK_TIME_WAIT was introduced since there is the 2*MSL delay before the TIME_WAIT->CLOSED transition, and not counting a connection beginning with TIME_WAIT is common sense/what people expect. Though the cleanup delay between TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE and (deallocated state) is much less than 2*MSL, it makes sense to also add this case per common sense. Patch is fine, yes, but you do not need the redundant ( ) that were introduced. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
