First off, thanks for looking into this.

I want to get this fix into 3.8 and -stable but this patch includes a
rework whose scope is net-next (upcoming 3.9).

The attached patch aims to fix the issue according to your patch
description. Once this is in, we can revisit your code refactoring
proposal.

Let me know.

Yes,I'm happy this bug being fixed in 3.8.
So what I should do is waiting for below patch being accepted and
then rebase my patchset? It's OK.
Thanks!

Yes, you'll have to rebase upon nf-next. First, I have to ask David to
pull from nf to get this fixes, so you'll have to wait a bit. If any
doubt, contact me.

While at it, please, merge patches 09, 10 and 11 in one single patch.

And 12 to 18. We need that the repository has to remain consistent
between two patches.

No problem if the patch seems big as soon as changes belong to the
same scope.

Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix BUG_ON while removing
 nf_conntrack with netns

canqun zhang reported that we're hitting BUG_ON in the
nf_conntrack_destroy path when calling kfree_skb while
rmmod'ing the nf_conntrack module.

Currently, the nf_ct_destroy hook is being set to NULL in the
destroy path of conntrack.init_net. However, this is a problem
since init_net may be destroyed before any other existing netns
(we cannot assume any specific ordering while releasing existing
netns according to what I read in recent emails).

Thanks to Gao feng for initial patch to address this issue.
