Re: [PATCH v4] Add refcounts to LED target

[Adam Nielsen <a.nielsen@shikadi.net>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 536 bytes --]

Add reference counting to the netfilter LED target, to fix errors when
multiple rules point to the same target ("LED trigger already exists").

Signed-off-by: Adam Nielsen <a.nielsen@shikadi.net>

Hopefully this is all you need.  Things like kstrdup() and the mutexes are a
result of needing to remember LED trigger names, which in turn is due to the
introduction of reference counting, so the description above should cover all
changes.

I have attached the patch as my mail client likes to reformat inline patches.

Cheers,
Adam.
