+Subject: [NETFILTER]: Fix connection tracking bug in 2.6.12
+
+In 2.6.12 we started dropping the conntrack reference when a packet
+leaves the IP layer. This broke connection tracking on a bridge,
+because bridge-netfilter defers calling some NF_IP_* hooks to the bridge
+layer for locally generated packets going out a bridge, where the
+conntrack reference is no longer available. This patch keeps the
+reference in this case as a temporary solution, long term we will
+remove the defered hook calling. No attempt is made to drop the
+reference in the bridge-code when it is no longer needed, tc actions
+could already have sent the packet anywhere.
