Because it can be a wrong entry dying. When we check dying, we don't yet know if we are looking at the right entry or not. If we successfully acquire a reference, then recheck nf_ct_key_equal and _then_ check dying, then we don't need to restart on dying. But with the current check order, we need to restart on dying too. -- 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
