Re: [PATCH net 1/4] netfilter: xt_recent: Fix attempt to update deleted entry

thank you for adressing that issue - maybe GRO can be enabled and wasn't 
involved at all

"Reap only entries which won't be updated" sounds for me like the could 
be some optimization: i mean when you first update and then check what 
can be reaped the recently updated entry would not match to begin with

When both --reap and --update flag are specified, there's a code
path at which the entry to be updated is reaped beforehand,
which then leads to kernel crash. Reap only entries which won't be
updated.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #207773.
