From acc738fec03bdaa5b77340c32a82fbfedaaabef0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:35:29 +0100 Subject: netfilter: xtables: avoid pointer to self Commit 784544739a25c30637397ace5489eeb6e15d7d49 (netfilter: iptables: lock free counters) broke a number of modules whose rule data referenced itself. A reallocation would not reestablish the correct references, so it is best to use a separate struct that does not fall under RCU.
