Hi Eric,

Please... could you rename this patch according to Linus'comments ?

Suitable name would probably be :

[PATCH] netfilter: use bh disabling with per-cpu read-write lock

Stating that the write lock must _always_ be taken with bh disabled
might not hurt here.

Did you really need to move add_counter_to_entry and put_counters in
this patch ? This also seems more like a cleanup to me, if it is even
one. It does make the patch harder to follow though.
