Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: Don't use test_bit() in lockless RCU readers in hash types
Sashiko pointed out that there are a few lockless RCU readers
using test_bit() which is a relaxed atomic operation and
provides no memory barrier guarantees. Use test_bit_acquire()
instead where the operation may run parallel with add/del/gc,
i.e. is not one from the next cases
- protected by region lock
- in a set destroy phase
- in a new/temporary set creation phase
