From 8201d923f492703a7d6c980cff3034759a452b86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:55:20 +0200 Subject: netfilter: conntrack: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write side critical section. Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side critical section is entered. If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has neither storage size nor runtime overhead. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S.
