From fd706d6957b3c66ae70b4bbdb9e13993213697f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 11:10:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
