Now is that really better - I'm not sure myself :) The per-conntrack
locking would be an improvement though. What do you think?
I think it's cool and highly required, in order to add per hash bucket
locks too :-). And hash bucket locking can even more improve performance.
(We need the ordered locking of the buckets for both directions only when
entries are added/deleted, otherwise a single read-lock of the given
bucket is enough.)
Great, I'll go over it once more and will commit it to my tree.
I'll post a quick note once its committed so Pablo can rebase
his patches.
