From a0e889bb1bdc083dbbdb02cce9698765847b841f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2006 12:17:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: recent match: fix "sleeping function called from invalid context" create_proc_entry must not be called with locks held. Use a mutex instead to protect data only changed in user context. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
