I am not sure if this is a valid configuration. The setting of sysctl is saying
"don't do iptables on bridge (since I won't be using it)" and then you are later
doing iptables and expecting the settings as if the iptables setup was being
done.
I don't think so.
Also rules like this one are broken:
iptables -A INPUT -i bridge0 -m physdev --physdev-in eth0 -j ...
No firewalling is done on the bridge, xt_physdev is only using some meta
information.
At least a big fat warning would be nice that xt_physdev does not work
if bridge-nf-call-iptables=0.
It took me some time to figure out why my firewall rule set gone nuts on
RHEL6...
The documentation is probably not explicit enough, but I would keep the
behavior as it is now. Setting bridge-nf-call-iptables to 0 makes
iptables behave as if bridge-netfilter was not enabled at compilation.
Anyway, your patch is almost certainly flawed since the fact that
skb->nf_bridge can be NULL is used as part of the logic in
br_netfilter.c: it indicates that bridge-nf-call-iptables was 0 when the
packet was first processed by bridge-netfilter and should therefore not
be given to iptables in any other netfilter hook.
