If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 62a873bb8b917af7af2cbb84f32c30de11b10710 Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Sep 10 19:04:45 2023 +0200 netfilter: nf_tables: disallow element removal on anonymous sets [ Upstream commit 23a3bfd4ba7acd36abf52b78605f61b21bdac216 ] Anonymous sets need to be populated once at creation and then they are bound to rule since 938154b93be8 ("netfilter: nf_tables: reject unbound anonymous set before commit phase"), otherwise transaction reports EINVAL. Userspace does not need to delete elements of anonymous sets that are not yet bound, reject this with EOPNOTSUPP. From flush command path, skip anonymous sets, they are expected to be bound already. Otherwise, EINVAL is hit at the end of this transaction for unbound sets.
