[Madhu Koriginja]

Hi Florian/Paolo,
As Florian suggested I changed the subject title, due to this patch is pushed in different link. Please find the nf_reset_ct changes patch in the below link
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230303094221.1501961-1-madhu.koriginja@xxxxxxx/T/

Please can you also suggest me how to push patch on 4.19 LTS kernel.

Thanks & Regards,
Madhu K

Hi Paolo,
 I updated the patch with nf_reset_ct change (nf_reset() replaced with nf_reset_ct) to align with the latest kernel code. 

Hi All,
I also want to push this change (with nf_reset) in 4.19 LTS kernel, please can you tell me how can I push to that version? Thanks in advance.

 Hi Florian,
In patchv3 updated the subject line as you suggested.

Thanks & Regards,
Madhu K

nf_reset() is gone since commit 895b5c9f206e ("netfilter: drop bridge nf reset from nf_reset"), you should use instead nf_reset_ct(): in the current form the patch does not apply cleanly (nor build after manual edit).


Cheers,
