From c6a1e615d1ba942b9e783079d53f741e4a8e1c89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:39:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: simplify l4 protocol array allocation The retrying after an allocation failure is not necessary anymore since we're holding the mutex the entire time, for the same reason the double allocation race can't happen anymore.
