The libnetfilter_conntrack userland library always sets IPS_CONFIRMED when building a CTA_STATUS attribute. If this toggles the bit from 0->1, the parser will return an error. On Linux 4.4+ this will cause any NFQA_EXP attribute in the packet to be ignored. This breaks conntrackd's userland helpers because they operate on unconfirmed connections. Instead of returning -EBUSY if the user program asks to modify an unchangeable bit, simply ignore the change. Also, fix the logic so that user programs are allowed to clear the bits that they are allowed to change.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
