An entry can move between different tables and thus chains need to be marked to identify what list a lookup ended up searching in. It's not the nulls marker itself that is needed, it's the bits in the last next pointer identifying the list that the nulls marker allows to be used which are essential. This is on my plate next. Most of the work in rhashtable was done in preparation of translating the TCP established table over to rhashtable. -- 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
