You probably do, can you try "cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack" instead?

(otherwise there should be no ipv4_conntrack_local() invocation
 since we would not register this hook at all).

I tried to reproduce this but so far I had no success.
If you can identify something that could give a hint when this
is happening (only once after boot, periodically, only with udp, etc)
please let us know.

(A reproducer would be even better of course ;-) )

Is this with current net tree?

Thanks!
