From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ca08987885a147643817d02bf260bc4756ce8cd4 ] There is no expression deactivation call from the rule replacement path, hence, chain counter is not decremented. A few steps to reproduce the problem: %nft add table ip filter %nft add chain ip filter c1 %nft add chain ip filter c1 %nft add rule ip filter c1 jump c2 %nft replace rule ip filter c1 handle 3 accept %nft flush ruleset <jump c2> expression means immediate NFT_JUMP to chain c2. Reference count of chain c2 is increased when the rule is added. When rule is deleted or replaced, the reference counter of c2 should be decreased via nft_rule_expr_deactivate() which calls nft_immediate_deactivate().
