Dear Maintainer, This issue is fixed by 5f81b1f51b9cfcbfbe7a1abea09962c91bf485e7 in https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.9.46 * What led up to the situation? Nothing in particular. System is a router with LXC containers bridged onto hardware interfaces. Each container has a number of iptables rules to allow certain traffic to be forwarded through vlans. No users were logged in when this occurred.
Hi Can you rebuild the kernel with the patch applied, following https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s4.2.2 just on top of 4.9.30-2+deb9u3 and report if that solved your problem? Regards, Salvatore
Hi there Salvatore, I already did. :) I verified it fixed the issue with the netfilter guys (Pablo) and he pushed the patch to kernel stable series. Its in the vanilla 4.9 stable now.
Hi! Perfect, thanks a lot for confirming that. Regards, Salvatore
Hi Salvatore, It looks like the entire rhlist is on its way to being reverted... https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196821 https://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=150470157522061&w=2 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/810567/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/810568/ I'll update with the patches when they're pushed to -stable.
Hi Nigel, Thanks. Regards, Salvatore
This is fixed in the above version in stable-proposed-updates. Ben.
