Subject: [NETFILTER]: Switch nf_register_hook/nf_unregister_hook to mutex
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~274^2~1^2~21
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd706d6957b3c66ae70b4bbdb9e13993213697f7;p=linux-2.6

[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.
