[ Upstream commit212ed75dc5] The pipapo set backend follows copy-on-update approach, maintaining one clone of the existing datastructure that is being updated. The clone and current datastructures are swapped via rcu from the commit step. The existing integration with the commit protocol is flawed because there is no operation to clean up the clone if the transaction is aborted. Moreover, the datastructure swap happens on set element activation. This patch adds two new operations for sets: commit and abort, these new operations are invoked from the commit and abort steps, after the transactions have been digested, and it updates the pipapo set backend to use it. This patch adds a new ->pending_update field to sets to maintain a list of sets that require this new commit and abort operations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
