For historical reasons x_tables still register tables by default in the initial namespace. Only newly created net namespaces add the hook on demand. This means that the init_net always pays hook cost, even if no filtering rules are added (e.g. only used inside a single netns). Note that the hooks are added even when 'iptables -L' is called. This is because there is no way to tell 'iptables -A' and 'iptables -L' apart at kernel level. The only solution would be to register the table, but delay hook registration until the first rule gets added (or policy gets changed). That however means that counters are not hooked either, so 'iptables -L' would always show 0-counters even when traffic is flowing which might be unexpected. This keeps table and hook registration consistent with what is already done in non-init netns: first iptables(-save) invocation registers both table and hooks. This applies the same solution adopted for ebtables. All tables register a template that contains the l3 family, the name and a constructor function that is called when the initial table has to be added.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
