Subject: [PATCH] fix stats in __ip_conntrack_confirm
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 00:30:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4176E6EB.1070008@eurodev.net> (raw)

Hi,

I've been discussing this with Eric. __ip_conntrack_confirm is entered from
both process context and net_rx_softirq context and "++" operations aren't
atomic.

So net_rx_softirq can preempt the calling process while incrementing the 
stats.
I think that we can fix this moving both CONNTRACK_STAT_INC to the locked
section.

regards,
Pablo
