Subject: netfilter: ipset: fix order of kfree_rcu() and rcu_assign_pointer()
X-Git-Tag: v7.2-rc1~29^2~63^2~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ca9982a8882470aa0ac4e8bb9a552b181d1efcd;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

netfilter: ipset: fix order of kfree_rcu() and rcu_assign_pointer()

Sashiko pointed out that kfree_rcu() was called before
rcu_assign_pointer() in handling the comment extension.
Fix the order so that rcu_assign_pointer() called first.
