Subject: [PATCH nf-next] netfilter: nfnetlink_log: no longer acquire sk_callback_lock
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 08:58:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226085816.2272259-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)

After commit 983512f3a87f ("net: Drop the lock in skb_may_tx_timestamp()")
from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, apply the same logic in
__build_packet_message() to avoid touching sk->sk_callback_lock.
