5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d111692a59c1470ae530cbb39bcf0346c950ecc7 upstream. This allows to remove an expired element which is not possible in other existing set backends, this is more noticeable if gc-interval is high so expired elements remain in the tree. On-demand gc also does not help in this case, because this is delete element path. Return NULL if element has expired.
