From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit 7dc68e98757a8eccf8ca7a53a29b896f1eef1f76 ] rateest_hash is supposed to be protected by xt_rateest_mutex, and, as suggested by Eric, lookup and insert should be atomic, so we should acquire the xt_rateest_mutex once for both. So introduce a non-locking helper for internal use and keep the locking one for external.
