netfilter: nf_tables: fix leaking object reference count [ Upstream commit b91d9036883793122cf6575ca4dfbfbdd201a83d ] There is no code that decreases the reference count of stateful objects in error path of the nft_add_set_elem(). this causes a leak of reference count of stateful objects. Test commands: $nft add table ip filter $nft add counter ip filter c1 $nft add map ip filter m1 { type ipv4_addr : counter \;} $nft add element ip filter m1 { 1 : c1 } $nft add element ip filter m1 { 1 : c1 } $nft delete element ip filter m1 { 1 } $nft delete counter ip filter c1 Result: Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy delete counter ip filter c1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At the second 'nft add element ip filter m1 { 1 : c1 }', the reference count of the 'c1' is increased then it tries to insert into the 'm1'. but the 'm1' already has same element so it returns -EEXIST. But it doesn't decrease the reference count of the 'c1' in the error path. Due to a leak of the reference count of the 'c1', the 'c1' can't be removed by 'nft delete counter ip filter c1'.
