Hello.

The following warning is reproducible with the code below on 2.6.25.6,
which uses sendmsg on a udp socket using two iovecs:

....
And I always get the following warning twice:

[ 6658.338116] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 6658.338121] WARNING: at net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_standalone.c:89
nf_nat_fn+0x33/0x155()

Thanks for the report. Does this patch fix it?

Actually, this can't be it. Let me look again.

Found it - we lost an ifdef during the transition to nf_conntrack
guarding an exception from defragmentation on loopback input.

This patch should fix the warning. diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c
