CVE-2026-98899
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: mark the rcu locked areas properly
When we bump the uref counter, there's no need to keep the rcu lock because the referred hash table can't disappear. Also, from the same reason in mtype_gc we need the rcu lock and not a spinlock.
