Subject: [NETFILTER 04/22]: Switch nf_register_hook/nf_unregister_hook to mutex
Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 11:36:26 +0100 (MET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070212103626.661.94543.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070212103621.661.65165.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain>

[NETFILTER]: Switch nf_register_hook/nf_unregister_hook to mutex

The spinlock is only used in process context (register/unregister)
since RCU is used for the nf_hook lists, switch to a mutex.
