You probably do, can you try "cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack" instead? (otherwise there should be no ipv4_conntrack_local() invocation since we would not register this hook at all). I tried to reproduce this but so far I had no success. If you can identify something that could give a hint when this is happening (only once after boot, periodically, only with udp, etc) please let us know. (A reproducer would be even better of course ;-) ) Is this with current net tree? Thanks!
