Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: fix the race when initializing nf_ct_expect_hash_rnd
Date: Mon,  6 Dec 2010 00:26:37 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291566397-24318-1-git-send-email-xiaosuo@gmail.com> (raw)

Since nf_ct_expect_dst_hash() may be called without nf_conntrack_lock
locked, nf_ct_expect_hash_rnd should be initialized in the atomic way.
