Because these two functions return the nf_ct_helper_expectfn pointer
which should be protected by rcu lock. So it should makes sure the
caller should hold the rcu lock, not inside these functions.

Sorry, I misspelled the title. It should be "nf-next", not "net-next".

You have to collapse this patch to:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/740576/

Please... use shorter patch subject names, around 80 chars long. There
is no strict limit that I know, but this subject looks too long.

I think rcu read side is missing in every invocations to:

__nf_conntrack_helper_find()

in ctnetlink. So this patch would be larger, have a closer look and
fix this in one go, please.

Ok. I would make it shorter, and send another update.

No problem, I would check all callers.
