[PATCH 4.14 42/94] netfilter: xt_cluster: add dependency on conntrack module

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 08 2018 - 14:42:45 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Willi <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c1dc2912059901f97345d9e10c96b841215fdc0f ]

The cluster match requires conntrack for matching packets. If the
netns does not have conntrack hooks registered, the match does not
work at all.

Implicitly load the conntrack hook for the family, exactly as many
other extensions do. This ensures that the match works even if the
hooks have not been registered by other means.
