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.

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.
