From 9f1ab18672bee992b6169bbfa2b5ae86b42e88a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 07:14:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp_metrics: fix wrong lockdep annotations Changes in tcp_metric hash table are protected by tcp_metrics_lock only, not by genl_mutex While we are at it use deref_locked() instead of rcu_dereference() in tcp_new() to avoid unnecessary barrier, as we hold tcp_metrics_lock as well.
