It's going to be NULL if netfilter didn't run because we only instantiate the on-stack state when it's actually needed and we're going to call down into netfilter. Instantiating it unconditionally is not an option, because unless netfilter runs setting up that structure is a complete waste of work. Then we have strange semantics where this state thing is NULL, depending upon whether netfilter was invoked or not. -- 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
