Also, with your patch I get the warning: CC [M] /usr/src/git/ipset/ipset/kernel/net/netfilter/xt_set.o CC [M] /usr/src/git/ipset/ipset/kernel/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.o /usr/src/git/ipset/ipset/kernel/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c: In function 'ip_set_sockfn_get': /usr/src/git/ipset/ipset/kernel/net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c:2184:3: warning: ignoring return value of 'strscpy', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result] strscpy(req_get->set.name, set ? set->name : "", ^ So please add the proper checking of the return value.
