Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: iptables: lock free counters, PREEMPT_RCU=y fix


Impact: fix log spam under CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y

This recent commit:

   7845447: netfilter: iptables: lock free counters

Converted a couple of netfilter codepaths from read_lock() critical 
sections to lockless rcu_read_lock(). What it forgot about is that 
under CONFIG_PREEMPT=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU=y these sections can 
be preempted.

Under CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y this produces such warnings:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: ssh/9114

Since it appears that the tables are RCU freed, and there are no 
non-preempt assumptions in the code, the using of 
raw_smp_processor_id() is safe.

[ I also audited all of net/netfilter/*.c for smp_processor_id() use,
  and fixed all places that used them unsafely. ]
