Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
a4e6a1031e
Given existing entry: ORIGIN: a:b -> c:d REPLY: c:d -> a:b And colliding entry: ORIGIN: c:d -> a:b REPLY: a:b -> c:d The colliding ct (and the associated skb) get dropped on insert. Permit this by checking if the colliding entry matches the reply direction. Happens when both ends send packets at same time, both requests are picked up as NEW, rather than NEW for the 'first' and 'ESTABLISHED' for the second packet. This is an esoteric condition, as ruleset must permit NEW connections in either direction and both peers must already have a bidirectional traffic flow at the time conntrack gets enabled. Allow the 'reverse' skb to pass and assign the existing (clashing) entry. While at it, also drop the extra 'dying' check, this is already tested earlier by the calling function.

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 reStructuredText 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.
