Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 4/9] inet_diag: allow concurrent operations

> inet_diag_lock_handler() current implementation uses a mutex
> to protect inet_diag_table[] array against concurrent changes.
>
> This makes inet_diag dump serialized, thus less scalable
> than legacy /proc files.
>
> It is time to switch to full RCU protection.
>
> As a bonus, if a target is statically linked instead of being
> modular, inet_diag_lock_handler() & inet_diag_unlock_handler()
> reduce to reads only.
