First I thought changing demux to not do the lookup of TIMEWAIT slot in

lookup for ESTABLISHED sockets later in TCP stack.

So it seems we should fix xt_LOG instead

Thanks Florian !

[PATCH] xt_LOG: take care of timewait sockets

Sami Farin reported crashes in xt_LOG because it assumes skb->sk is a
full blown socket.

But with TCP early demux, we can have skb->sk pointing to a timewait
socket.
Seems other fixes are needed, for example in nfnetlink_log.c

I'll send a v2
