Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: defer all object release via rcu
X-Git-Tag: next-20140530~74^2~40^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c7c32e7;p=karo-tx-linux.git

netfilter: nf_tables: defer all object release via rcu

Now that all objects are released in the reverse order via the
transaction infrastructure, we can enqueue the release via
call_rcu to save one synchronize_rcu. For small rule-sets loaded
via nft -f, it now takes around 50ms less here.
