[PATCH net 01/13] netfilter: ipset: fix refcount race between list:set GC and swap

From: "Xiang Mei (Microsoft)" <[email protected]>

__ip_set_put_byindex() resolved the index to a set pointer under RCU,
then took ip_set_ref_lock in __ip_set_put() to decrement set->ref.
ip_set_swap() holds that same lock while swapping both the ip_set_list
slots and the two sets' ref counters, so it can interleave between the
dereference and the lock acquisition, leaving the caller to decrement a
set whose reference already moved to the other index and hit
BUG_ON(set->ref == 0). list_set_gc() reaches this from timer softirq,
which the nfnl mutex does not serialize against swap: an expiring
list:set member calls list_set_del() -> ip_set_put_byindex() while
IPSET_CMD_SWAP runs on the referenced sets.

Resolve the index and decrement under ip_set_ref_lock, as ip_set_swap()
already does, keeping the refcount tied to the index rather than to a
stale set pointer.
