Subject: net: netfilter: Serialize xt_write_recseq sections on RT From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:18:08 +0100 Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.0/older/patches-5.0.7-rt5.tar.xz The netfilter code relies only on the implicit semantics of local_bh_disable() for serializing wt_write_recseq sections. RT breaks that and needs explicit serialization here.
