Hi, I noticed that set_expected_rtp_rtcp() in net-next misses a 2nd RCU reader lock when dereferencing the 2nd hook function. Same bug is present in kernel v3.8 at least. This is a resend, which extend the RCU protected area as needed. Please check. /Holger
sip: add missing RCU reader lock in set_expected_rtp_rtcp() Currently set_expected_rtp_rtcp() in the SIP helper uses rcu_dereference() two times to access two different NAT hook functions. However, only the first one is protected by the RCU reader lock, but the 2nd isn't. Fix it by extending the RCU protected area.
