Hi, I'm trying to delete a verdict map entry and the chain it points to in the same nft transaction. This currently fails with: Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy existing rules: nft list table mangle table ip mangle { map client_to_any { type mark : verdict elements = { 0x00000080 : jump BIn_1, 0x00000100 : jump BIn_2} } map any_to_client { type mark : verdict elements = { 0x00000100 : jump BOut_2, 0x00000080 : jump BOut_1} } ... chain BIn_1 { counter packets 133 bytes 63243 } chain BOut_1 { counter packets 136 bytes 34430 } } delete script: # cat /tmp/nft-18536-delete-1.tmp delete element mangle client_to_any { 0x00000080 : jump BIn_1 } delete element mangle any_to_client { 0x00000080 : jump BOut_1 } delete chain ip mangle BIn_1 delete chain ip mangle BOut_1 Result: # nft -f /tmp/nft-18536-delete-1.tmp /tmp/nft-18536-delete-1.tmp:3:1-29: Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy delete chain ip mangle BIn_1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ /tmp/nft-18536-delete-1.tmp:4:1-30: Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy delete chain ip mangle BOut_1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ nft is from git://git.netfilter.org/nftables @ cba42084057b6de61d95d87177f0f8c01db539ab (HEAD) kernel is 4.2.0-rc6 with net-next applied from Aug 18th) Does it make sense to update to a newer kernel (4.2-final or current net-next) or is this expected behavior?
