Indeed. I overlooked that. Thanks David.

New patch attached fixing this. I've rebased my tree.

@Jozsef: BTW, why do we have

include/linux/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_timeout.h

living under include/linux ?

All definitions are private to the kernel. Why not moving that header
(and other similar) to include/net ?

Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ipset: fix timeout value overflow bug

Large timeout parameters could result wrong timeout values due to
an overflow at msec to jiffies conversion (reported by Andreas Herz)

[ This patch was mangled by Pablo Neira Ayuso since David Laight notices
  that we were using hardcode 1000 instead of HZ to calculate the timeout ]
