Subject: [NETFILTER]: recent match: fix "sleeping function called from invalid context"
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0e889bb1bdc083dbbdb02cce9698765847b841f;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[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.
