Got a compiler error:
net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c: In function ‘ip_set_destroy_set_rcu’:
net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c:1017:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘ip_set_destroy_set’; did you mean ‘ip_set_destroy_set_rcu’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

I move the declaration of ip_set_destroy_set_rcu, make sure it is after the declaration of ip_set_destroy_set,
With this path, the performance degradation of ipset_swap is gone, but my test only stress ipset_swap, not a swap/destroy sequence.
I will adjust my code to stress a full swap/destroy/create/add sequence, and update later.


Thanks
