I see nft_chain() call in patch 8, but it doesn't need the chain object but uses it to fetch the table pointer. However, table is available at init() time so this could also be stored in ->priv area afaics. [ I am not opposed to this chain store thing, but after getting rid of a lot of members from pktinfo it seems to me we should not add new ones without a compelling reason ] -- 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
