Well, we have a faster solution : Add seqcount in "struct xt_info_lock" so that we make the increment pair once per table, not once per rule, and we already have the seq address, so no need for this_cpu_write_seqcount_begin() interface. [PATCH v2 net-next-2.6] netfilter: ip_tables: dont block BH while reading counters Using "iptables -L" with a lot of rules might have a too big BH latency. Jesper mentioned ~6 ms and worried of frame drops. Switch to a per_cpu seqcount scheme, so that taking a snapshot of counters doesnt need to block BH (for this cpu, but also other cpus).
