Subject: [PATCH net] netfilter: ipset: list:set: defer ip_set_put_byindex to RCU callback
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 21:06:17 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820010617.46851-1-blbllhy@gmail.com> (raw)

list_set_del() and list_set_replace() call ip_set_put_byindex() before
call_rcu(), dropping the child set refcount to zero. Meanwhile,
list_set_ktest() on another CPU may have already read e->id under
rcu_read_lock(). A concurrent ip_set_destroy() sees refcount zero,
NULLs ip_set_list[index], and frees the child set. list_set_ktest()
then passes the now-dangling index to ip_set_test(), ip_set_rcu_get()
returns NULL, and BUG_ON(!set) fires at ip_set_core.c:746.

 kernel BUG at net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c:746!
   ip_set_test+0x329/0x590
   list_set_kadt+0x2a6/0x810
   ip_set_test+0x24f/0x590
   set_match_v1+0x1a9/0x280
   ipt_do_table+0x83d/0x1360
   nf_hook_slow+0xac/0x1e0

Move ip_set_put_byindex() from list_set_del()/list_set_replace() into
the __list_set_del_rcu() callback so the refcount is not decremented
until all RCU readers have finished.

Fixes: 439cd39ea136 ("netfilter: ipset: list:set: Decrease refcount synchronously on deletion and replace")
