As far as I understand, this could instead be written like this (not even compile tested): /* Avoid applying nat->range to the reply direction */ if (!exp->dir || !nat->range_info.min_proto.all || !nat->range_info.max_proto.all) { min = 1; max = 65535; range_size = 65535; } else { min = ntohs(nat->range_info.min_proto.all); max = ntohs(nat->range_info.max_proto.all); range_size = max - min + 1; } /* Try to get same port: if not, try to change it. */ port = ntohs(exp->saved_proto.tcp.port); if (port < min || port > max) port = min; for (i = 0; i < range_size; i++) { exp->tuple.dst.u.tcp.port = htons(port); ret = nf_ct_expect_related(exp, 0); if (ret != -EBUSY) break; port++; if (port > max) port = min; } if (ret != 0) { ... AFAICS this is the same, we loop at most range_size times, in case range_size is 64k, we will loop through all (hmmm, not good actually, but better make that a different change) else through given min - max range. If orig port was in-range, we try it first, then increment. If port exceeds upper bound, cycle back to min. What do you think?
