[PATCH 07/13] netfilter: conntrack: remove unneeded nf_ct_put

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

 



From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>

We can delay refcount increment until we reassign the existing entry to
the current skb.

A 0 refcount can't happen while the nf_conn object is still in the
hash table and parallel mutations are impossible because we hold the
bucket lock.
