[tproxy] tproxy 2.0.2 (2.6.12) and SMP kernel freeze

Hello, For a variety of reasons (technical & non-technical), I have to support 2.6.12 & tproxy-2.0.2 for a customer. On a SMP machine, we are seeing a hard-kernel freeze on an incoming TCP connection when ever tproxy-tcp rules are active. I came across this bug report on the tproxy mailing lists: https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/tproxy/2005-November/000215.html And, a subsequent announcement for 2.0.3-2.6.14 release which fixes the bug. Unfortunately, 2.6.14 and 2.6.12 have different netfilter interfaces; so, I am unsure how to backport the fix to 2.6.12. I would very much appreciate some hints on how to resolve this on 2.0.2 and 2.6.12. Thanks in advance, -- Sudhi
