commit d111692a59c1470ae530cbb39bcf0346c950ecc7 upstream. This allows to remove an expired element which is not possible in other existing set backends, this is more noticeable if gc-interval is high so expired elements remain in the tree. On-demand gc also does not help in this case, because this is delete element path. Return NULL if element has expired.

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 Restructured Text 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.
