From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> [ d209df3e7f7002d9099fdb0f6df0f972b4386a63 ] [ We hit the trace described in commit message with the kselftest/nft_trans_stress.sh. This patch diverges from the upstream one since kernel 4.14 does not have following symbols: nft_chain_filter_init, nf_tables_flowtable_notifier ] We must register nfnetlink ops last, as that exposes nf_tables to userspace. Without this, we could theoretically get nfnetlink request before net->nft state has been initialized.
