4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d376bef9c29b3c65aeee4e785fffcd97ef0a9a81 ] nft_compat relies on xt_request_find_match to increment refcount of the module that provides the match/target. The (builtin) icmp matches did't set the module owner so it was possible to rmmod ip(6)tables while icmp extensions were still in use.
