From dbc3617f4c1f9fcbe63612048cb9583fea1e11ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2015 13:20:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink: don't probe module if it exists nfnetlink_bind request_module()s all the time as nfnetlink_get_subsys() shifts the argument by 8 to obtain the subsys id. So using type instead of type << 8 always returns NULL.
