[ Upstream commit 23c54263efd7cb605e2f7af72717a2a951999217 ] This is needed in case a new transaction is made that doesn't insert any new elements into an already existing set. Else, after second 'nft -f ruleset.txt', lookups in such a set will fail because ->lookup() encounters raw_cpu_ptr(m->scratch) == NULL. For the initial rule load, insertion of elements takes care of the allocation, but for rule reloads this isn't guaranteed: we might not have additions to the set.

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.
