BTW, I have a patch I wanted to submit on top of this, which changes the *LOG targets to do "reliable" logging, which means if we encounter any errors during logging (for example from netlink), the packet will be dropped. This makes as sure as possible that no connections will be silently accepted. Its a slight change of user-visible behaviour, but since it only affects corner-cases I think it should be OK. I could add some flags to retain the current behaviour, but I think its not worth it. For ULOG its only possible to do this without queueing, so if qthreshold > 1 we will keep the old behaviour, LOG can't fail anyway.
