[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: fix helper module unload races

2007-06-07T20:40:26+00:00

When a helper module is unloaded all conntracks refering to it have their
helper pointer NULLed out, leading to lots of races. In most places this
can be fixed by proper use of RCU (they do already check for != NULL,
but in a racy way), additionally nf_conntrack_expect_related needs to
bail out when no helper is present.

Also remove two paranoid BUG_ONs in nf_conntrack_proto_gre that are racy
and not worth fixing.

[NETLINK]: Switch cb_lock spinlock to mutex and allow to override it

2007-04-26T05:29:03+00:00

Switch cb_lock to mutex and allow netlink kernel users to override it
with a subsystem specific mutex for consistent locking in dump callbacks.
All netlink_dump_start users have been audited not to rely on any
side-effects of the previously used spinlock.
