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
