Florian Westphal 67e4860eee netfilter: conntrack: avoid useless indirection during conntrack destruction 
commit 6ae7989c9a upstream.

nf_ct_put() results in a usesless indirection:

nf_ct_put -> nf_conntrack_put -> nf_conntrack_destroy -> rcu readlock +
indirect call of ct_hooks->destroy().

There are two _put helpers:
nf_ct_put and nf_conntrack_put.  The latter is what should be used in
code that MUST NOT cause a linker dependency on the conntrack module
(e.g. calls from core network stack).

Everyone else should call nf_ct_put() instead.

A followup patch will convert a few nf_conntrack_put() calls to
nf_ct_put(), in particular from modules that already have a conntrack
dependency such as act_ct or even nf_conntrack itself.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
