From: Oliver Smith <oliver@8.c.9.b.0.7.4.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa>

This adds the core support for having comments on ipset entries.

The comments are stored as standard null-terminated strings in
dynamically allocated memory after being passed to the kernel. As a
result of this, code has been added to the generic destroy function to
iterate all extensions and call that extension's destroy task if the set
has that extension activated, and if such a task is defined.

You should have received an error at compiling: 
IP_SET_MAX_COMMENT_SIZE is defined both in 
uapi/linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set.h and 
linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_comment.h.

Remove IP_SET_MAX_COMMENT_SIZE from this header file, it must be in
uapi/linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set.h.

[IPSET_ATTR_COMMENT is also defined in another header file and this one 
depends on it.]

This cascading of allocation attempts is simply too much. Also, we must 
use the flag GFP_ATOMIC, because we are holding the set lock (I didn't 
notice it previously, sorry). So please fall back to a single allocation 
with kzalloc and that's all (and keep the checking of it's result, of 
course).

Move the

     if (unlikely(comment->str))
             kfree(comment->str);

part before

     if (!len)
 	    return;

and extend it to

     if (unlikely(comment->str)) {
             kfree(comment->str);
	     comment->str = NULL;
     }

That way we support "deleting" just the comment part of an element (user 
can readd the element without comment). But therefore the "unlikely" part 
of the test should probably be removed.

This function must be the type of "int" and so the first check return "0".
nla_put_string returns zero or -EMSGSIZE.

Restore the previous ip_set_comment_free version, without the vfree part.

The definition of IP_SET_MAX_COMMENT_SIZE must come here.

The double definition confused me: in ip_set_comment.h it is 
IP_SET_MAX_COMMENT_SIZE, in ip_set.h it is IPSET_MAX_COMMENT_SIZE. Keep 
the latter only.
