Its no longer needed. Entries that need event redelivery are placed on the new pernet dying list. The advantage is that there is no need to take additional spinlock on conntrack removal unless event redelivery failed or the conntrack entry was never added to the table in the first place (confirmed bit not set). The IPS_CONFIRMED bit now needs to be set as soon as the entry has been unlinked from the unconfirmed list, else the destroy function may attempt to unlink it a second time.

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.
