Subject: [PATCH] nf_conntrack_sip: fix by making helper pointers thread-local

Patrick, do I read correctly that ->help hook can run concurrently with itself?

If yes, apply this patch to fix potential crashes and all sorts of
nasties.



[PATCH] nf_conntrack_sip: de-static helper pointers

Helper's ->help hook can run concurrently with itself, so iterating over
SIP helpers with static pointer won't work reliably.
