Message-ID: <20250820144738.24250-3-fw@strlen.de> Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2025 16:47:34 +0200 From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de> To: <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@...hat.com>, "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>, Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>, <netfilter-devel@...r.kernel.org>, pablo@...filter.org, Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de> Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/6] netfilter: nft_set_pipapo_avx2: Drop the comment regarding protection From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de> The comment claims that the kernel_fpu_begin_mask() below protects access to the scratch map. This is not true because the access is only protected by local_bh_disable() above. Remove the misleading comment.
