Hi, I have an application using libnetfilter_conntrack-0.100 that started reporting errors after the commit: 1c450e1595afdc8d1bfabb4f640c9251808426eb. I've checked that the error happens because the kernel sees an empty CTA_PROTOINFO attribute when parsing a conntrack update. In the case of my application I was just trying to update the timeout of a TCP conntrack and so I didn't specify any of the TCP protoinfo attributes. With the previous library version no CTA_PROTOINFO attribute was set in the conntrack and no error was seen (this is valid from the point of view of the kernel). Now, an error is reported and the netlink command ignored. What do you think would be the right fix? Should the commit be reverted? Or is the application obliged to specify attributes which it doesn't want to modify (and introduce possible race conditions since it's usually a read/write/modify)?
