[PATCH] netfilter: fix checking method of conntrack helper
From: Henry Yen
Date: Mon Jan 14 2019 - 05:00:23 EST
This patch uses nfct_help() to detect whether an
established connection needs conntrack helper instead of using
test_bit(IPS_HELPER_BIT, &ct->status).
The reason is that IPS_HELPER_BIT is only set when using explicit
CT target.
However, in the case that a device enables conntrack helper via
command "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper",
the status of IPS_HELPER_BIT will not present any change, and
consequently it loses the checking ability in the context.
