Anonymous sets that are bound to rules from the same transaction trigger a kernel splat from the abort path due to double set list removal and double free. This patch updates the logic to search for the transaction that is responsible for creating the set and disable the set list removal and release, given the rule is now responsible for this. Lookup is reverse since the transaction that adds the set is likely to be at the tail of the list. Moreover, this patch adds the unbind step to deliver the event from the commit path. This should not be done from the worker thread, since we have no guarantees of in-order delivery to the listener. This patch removes the assumption that both activate and deactivate callbacks need to be provided.

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.
