Phil reports that adding elements, flushing and re-adding them
right away:
nft add table t '{ set s { type ipv4_addr . inet_service; flags interval; }; }'
nft add element t s '{ 10.0.0.1 . 22-25, 10.0.0.1 . 10-20 }'
nft flush set t s
nft add element t s '{ 10.0.0.1 . 10-20, 10.0.0.1 . 22-25 }'
triggers, almost reliably, a crash like this one:

which is caused by dangling elements that have been deactivated, but
never removed.
On a flush operation, nft_pipapo_walk() walks through all the elements
in the mapping table, which are then deactivated by nft_flush_set(),
one by one, and added to the commit list for removal. Element data is
then freed.
On transaction commit, nft_pipapo_remove() is called, and failed to
remove these elements, leading to the stale references in the mapping.
The first symptom of this, revealed by KASan, is a one-byte
use-after-free in subsequent calls to nft_pipapo_walk(), which is
usually not enough to trigger a panic. When stale elements are used
more heavily, though, such as double-free via nft_pipapo_destroy()
as in Phil's case, the problem becomes more noticeable.
The issue comes from that fact that, on a flush operation,
nft_pipapo_remove() won't get the actual key data via elem->key,
elements to be deleted upon commit won't be found by the lookup via
pipapo_get(), and removal will be skipped. Key data should be fetched
via nft_set_ext_key(), instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
