From sven.eckelmann@gmx.de Sun Sep 5 00:23:24 2010 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sun, 5 Sep 2010 01:58:18 +0200 Subject: Revert: "Staging: batman-adv: Adding netfilter-bridge hooks" To: greg@kroah.com Cc: b.a.t.m.a.n@lists.open-mesh.net, Sven Eckelmann Message-ID: <1283644718-653-2-git-send-email-sven.eckelmann@gmx.de> This reverts commit 96d592ed599434d2d5f339a1d282871bc6377d2c. The netfilter hook seems to be misused and may leak skbs in situations when NF_HOOK returns NF_STOLEN. It may not filter everything as expected. Also the ethernet bridge tables are not yet capable to understand batman-adv packet correctly. It was only added for testing purposes and can be removed again.
