[PATCH 5.5 106/176] netfilter: xt_hashlimit: reduce hashlimit_mutex scope for htable_put()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 03 2020 - 12:50:18 EST


From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c4a3922d2d20c710f827d3a115ee338e8d0467df upstream.

It is unnecessary to hold hashlimit_mutex for htable_destroy()
as it is already removed from the global hashtable and its
refcount is already zero.

Also, switch hinfo->use to refcount_t so that we don't have
to hold the mutex until it reaches zero in htable_put().
