As reported by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior the use of local_bh_disable()
is only feasible in uni processor systems to update the modification rules.
The usual use-case to update the modification rules is to update the data
of the modifications but not the modification types (AND/OR/XOR/SET) or
the checksum functions itself.
To omit additional memory allocations to maintain fast modification
switching times, the modification description space is doubled at gw-job
creation time so that only the reference to the active modification
description is changed under rcu protection.
Rename cgw_job::mod to cf_mod and make it a RCU pointer. Allocate in
cgw_create_job() and free it together with cgw_job in
cgw_job_free_rcu(). Update all users to dereference cgw_job::cf_mod with
a RCU accessor and if possible once.
[bigeasy: Replace mod1/mod2 from the Oliver's original patch with dynamic
allocation, use RCU annotation and accessor]

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 reStructuredText 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.
