The documentation is probably not explicit enough, but I would keep the
behavior as it is now. Setting bridge-nf-call-iptables to 0 makes
iptables behave as if bridge-netfilter was not enabled at compilation.
Anyway, your patch is almost certainly flawed since the fact that
skb->nf_bridge can be NULL is used as part of the logic in
br_netfilter.c: it indicates that bridge-nf-call-iptables was 0 when the
packet was first processed by bridge-netfilter and should therefore not
be given to iptables in any other netfilter hook.

Thanks for the explanation!

Wouldn't it make sense to check for bridge-nf-call-iptables in xt_physdev?
So that the user gets warned that his iptables rule will never match...

Thanks,
