Hi Nayan,
The function 'nf_conntrack_register_notifier' and the related
functions are declared in nf_conntrack_ecache.h within the macro
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS. If this macro is disabled, we may not be
able to use these functions.
And also the help text for this macro says that the connection
tracking code will provide notifier chain if the macro is enabled. I
guess i am missing something else.
Thanks,
Anil
