From fe72926b792e52ab00abfa81a201805bfb2247d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 11:35:02 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: call nf_hook_state_init with rcu_read_lock held This makes things simpler because we can store the head of the list in the nf_state structure without worrying about concurrent add/delete of hook elements from the list. A future commit will make use of this to implement a simpler linked-list.
