This patch changes conntrack to use the new mod_timer_pending() function, which only rearms the timer if it was still active. This allows to only grab the lock in __nf_ct_refresh_acct when accounting is used. Anyone seing anything wrong with this?
if (acct) { + spin_lock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock); acct[CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo)].packets++; acct[CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo)].bytes += skb->len - skb_network_offset(skb); + spin_unlock_bh(&nf_conntrack_lock); }
In fact, we could additionally change it to use the per-conntrack lock. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
