From a442c8a89fb9c531f9d6ab86120c31decd778d51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 20:03:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ipset: do not update comments from kernel-side adds 'Fixes' commit stopped calling ip_set_init_comment() for hash types from kernel-side-adds (xtables .. -j SET). ip_set_init_comment() says: "The kadt functions don't use the comment extensions in any way." But bitmap set type calls the function from kadt cb too. While this appears to be safe (serialized via the set spinlock), it seems better to not call the init function either, least of all to keep behaviour consistent. ip_set_list calls ip_set_init_comment() only from uadt cb, it can be kept as-is. This was triggered by yet another LLM review, hinting that the existing rcu_dereference_protected() cannot be downgraded to only check if the nfnl mutex is held.
