[PATCH 3/3] netfilter: nf_conntrack: remove unnecessary RTNL locking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Locking the rtnl was added to nf_conntrack_l{3,4}_proto_unregister()
for walking the network namespace list. This is not done anymore since
we have proper namespace support in the protocols now, so we don't
need to take the RTNL anymore.
