Stefano Brivio a1e0ae82cf netfilter: ipset: list:set: Decrease refcount synchronously on deletion and replace
[ Upstream commit 439cd39ea136d2c026805264d58a91f36b6b64ca ]

Commit 45040978c899 ("netfilter: ipset: Fix set:list type crash
when flush/dump set in parallel") postponed decreasing set
reference counters to the RCU callback.

An 'ipset del' command can terminate before the RCU grace period
is elapsed, and if sets are listed before then, the reference
counter shown in userspace will be wrong:

 # ipset create h hash:ip; ipset create l list:set; ipset add l
 # ipset del l h; ipset list h
 Name: h
 Type: hash:ip
 Revision: 4

 # sleep 1; ipset list h

 Type: hash:ip
 Revision: 4

Fix this by making the reference count update synchronous again.

As a result, when sets are listed, ip_set_name_byindex() might
now fetch a set whose reference count is already zero. Instead
of relying on the reference count to protect against concurrent
set renaming, grab ip_set_ref_lock as reader and copy the name,
while holding the same lock in ip_set_rename() as writer
instead.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
