From 7926dbfa4bc14e27f4e18a6184a031a1c1e077dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:38:46 +0200 Subject: netfilter: don't use mutex_lock_interruptible() Eric Dumazet reports that getsockopt() or setsockopt() sometimes returns -EINTR instead of -ENOPROTOOPT, causing headaches to application developers. This patch replaces all the mutex_lock_interruptible() by mutex_lock() in the netfilter tree, as there is no reason we should sleep for a long time there.
