[PATCH 20/29] netfilter: NF_QUEUE vs emergency skbs

From: Peter Zijlstra <hidden>
Date: 2007-12-14 19:23:52
Also in: linux-mm, lkml

Avoid memory getting stuck waiting for userspace, drop all emergency packets.
This of course requires the regular storage route to not include an NF_QUEUE
target ;-)
