[PATCH 08/10] netfilter: nf_conntrack: remove unnecessary RTNL locking
From: pablo@netfilter.org
Date: 2012-08-23 00:18:48
Also in:
netfilter-devel
Subsystem:
netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers:

From: Patrick McHardy <redacted>
Locking the rtnl was added to nf_conntrack_l{3,4}_proto_unregister()
for walking the network namespace list. This is not done anymore since
we have proper namespace support in the protocols now, so we don't
need to take the RTNL anymore.
