[PATCH net-next 1/1] netfilter: helper: Remove the rcu lock in nf_ct_helper_expectfn_find_by_name and nf_ct_helper_expectfn_find_by_symbol.

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

 



From: Gao Feng <fgao@xxxxxxxxxx>

Because these two functions return the nf_ct_helper_expectfn pointer
which should be protected by rcu lock. So it should makes sure the
caller should hold the rcu lock, not inside these functions.
