But this assertion (and the comment) are wrong, this function does see fragments when IP_NODEFRAG setsockopt is used. As conntrack doesn't track packets without complete l4 header, only the first fragment is tracked. Because applying nat to first packet but not the rest makes no sense this also turns off tracking of all fragments.
