Subject: [PATCH 1/1] conntrack, suspicious RCU usage

From: Hans Schillstrom <hans@...illstrom.com>

Hello Pablo
I think you lost this patch from Eric, I updated the patch for the 
latest nf_conntrack_netlink.c 


Well, __nf_ct_l4proto_find() being out of line and the way we already
use rcu_read_lock() in this code, it seems following patch is
the most natural way to cope with these lockdep warnings.

Thanks

[PATCH] netfilter: ctnetlink: fix lockep splats

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:70 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
