From f0a3c0869f3b0ef93d9df044e9a41e40086d4c97 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:28:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ctnetlink: move event reporting for new entries outside the lock This patch moves the event reporting outside the lock section. With this patch, the creation and update of entries is homogeneous from the event reporting perspective. Moreover, as the event reporting is done outside the lock section, the netlink broadcast delivery can benefit of the yield() call under congestion.
