From c83fa19603bdaeef17b815713dbbe3230c8a34ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 10:24:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_log: don't call synchronize_rcu in nf_log_unset nf_log_unregister() (which is what gets called in the logger backends module exit paths) does a (required, module is removed) synchronize_rcu(). But nf_log_unset() is only called from pernet exit handlers. It doesn't free any memory so there appears to be no need to call synchronize_rcu. v2: Liping Zhang points out that nf_log_unregister() needs to be called after pernet unregister, else rmmod would become unsafe.
