When sets are extremely large we can get softlockup during ipset -L. We could fix this by adding cond_resched_rcu() at the right location during iteration, but this only works if RCU nesting depth is 1. At this time entire variant->list() is called under under rcu_read_lock_bh. This used to be a read_lock_bh() but as rcu doesn't really lock anything, it does not appear to be needed, so remove it (ipset increments set reference count before this, so a set deletion should not be possible).

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.
