Florian Westphal says:
"Problem is that after the helper hook was merged back into the confirm
one, the queueing itself occurs from the confirm hook, i.e. we queue
from the last netfilter callback in the hook-list.
Therefore, on return, the packet bypasses the confirm action and the
connection is never committed to the main conntrack table.
To fix this there are several ways:
1. revert the 'Fixes' commit and have a extra helper hook again.
Works, but has the drawback of adding another indirect call for
everyone.
2. Special case this: split the hooks only when userspace helper
gets added, so queueing occurs at a lower priority again,
and normal enqueue reinject would eventually call the last hook.
3. Extend the existing nf_queue ct update hook to allow a forced
confirmation (plus run the seqadj code).
This goes for 3)."

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.
