Subject: netfilter: nf_log: don't zap all loggers on unregister
From: Florian Westphal <[email protected]>
commit 205ee117d4dc4a11ac3bd9638bb9b2e839f4de9a upstream.
like nf_log_unset, nf_log_unregister must not reset the list of loggers.
Otherwise, a call to nf_log_unregister() will render loggers of other nf
protocols unusable:
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
modprobe nf_log_arp ; rmmod nf_log_arp
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name
Fixes: 30e0c6a6be ("netfilter: nf_log: prepare net namespace support for
loggers")
