[PATCH net 06/17] netfilter: ipset: mark the rcu locked areas properly

Florian Westphal <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.comp.security.firewalls.netfilter.devel,gmane.linux.network
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Jozsef Kadlecsik <[email protected]>

When we bump the uref counter, there's no need to keep
the rcu lock because the referred hash table can't
disappear. Also, from the same reason in mtype_gc we
need the rcu lock and not a spinlock.
