[PATCH RESEND v2 04/13] netfilter: xt_recent: let procfs own the seq_file

Christian Brauner brauner at kernel.org
Wed Nov 4 11:58:38 PST 2026


Declare the seq_operations and the size of the iterator state and let
procfs open and free the seq_file. ->proc_open() only fills in the table
now. Reading /proc/net/xt_recent/<table> then no longer holds up the
removal of the table.
