Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== nf pull request for net This series contains netfilter fixes for net, they are: 1) Fix lockdep splat in nft_hash when releasing sets from the rcu_callback context. We don't the mutex there anymore. 2) Remove unnecessary spinlock_bh in the destroy path of the nf_tables rbtree set type from rcu_callback context. 3) Fix another lockdep splat in rhashtable. None of the callers hold a mutex when calling rhashtable_destroy. 4) Fix duplicated error reporting from nfnetlink when aborting and replaying a batch. 5) Fix a Kconfig issue reported by kbuild robot. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
