Unfortunatly, this patch changes nothing, as most of the time, do_acct is true.
We also need to fine lock the accounting part as well.
spin_lock_bh(&ct->some_lock);
acct = nf_conn_acct_find(ct);
if (acct) {
acct[CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo)].packets++;
acct[CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo)].bytes +=
skb->len - skb_network_offset(skb);
}
spin_unlock_bh(&ct->some_lock);Its currently still enabled by default, but we intend to change that. After that I guess almost nobody will have it enabled.
