[PATCH] netlink: Re-add locking to netlink_lookup() and seq walker

From: Thomas Graf
Date: Fri Oct 17 2014 - 05:33:44 EST


The synchronize_rcu() in netlink_release() introduces unacceptable
latency. Reintroduce minimal lookup so we can drop the
synchronize_rcu() until socket destruction has been RCUfied.
