Message-Id: <1493803931-2837-6-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 11:32:00 +0200 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org> To: netfilter-devel@...r.kernel.org Cc: davem@...emloft.net, netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 05/16] netfilter: ctnetlink: drop the incorrect cthelper module request From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@...il.com> First, when creating a new ct, we will invoke request_module to try to load the related inkernel cthelper. So there's no need to call the request_module again when updating the ct helpinfo. Second, ctnetlink_change_helper may be called with rcu_read_lock held, i.e. rcu_read_lock -> nfqnl_recv_verdict -> nfqnl_ct_parse -> ctnetlink_glue_parse -> ctnetlink_glue_parse_ct -> ctnetlink_change_helper. But the request_module invocation may sleep, so we can't call it with the rcu_read_lock held. Remove it now.
