The connection tracking hooks can be optionally registered per netns when conntrack is specifically invoked from the ruleset since0c66dc1ea3("netfilter: conntrack: register hooks in netns when needed by ruleset"). Then, since4d3a57f23d("netfilter: conntrack: do not enable connection tracking unless needed"), the default behaviour is changed to always register them on demand. This patch provides a toggle that allows users to always register them. Without this toggle, in order to use conntrack for statistics collection, you need a dummy rule that refers to conntrack, eg. iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW This patch allows users to restore the original behaviour via modparam, ie. always register connection tracking, eg. modprobe nf_conntrack enable_hooks=1 Hence, no dummy rule is required.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
