example of nftables.py leaking memory

System:

Gentoo 5.3.10 x86_64
nft up to date from GIT as of 12.11.2019


Overwiew:

nft commands which change ruleset leak memory when running through nftables.py
if ruleset contain rule like this:

add rule ip table1 chain1 counter name ip length map { 0-65535: "counter1" }

But no leaking happens when rule is changed to:

add rule ip table1 chain1 counter name ip length map { 0-65534: "counter1" }


Detailed info:

Consider this ruleset:

add table ip table1
add set ip table1 set1 { type ipv4_addr; }
add chain ip table1 chain1 { type filter hook forward priority 0; }
add counter ip table1 counter1
add rule ip table1 chain1 counter name ip length map { 0-65535: "counter1" }

Then several iterations of adding and deleting set items like this:

add element table1 set1 { 1.1.1.1 }
delete element table1 set1 { 1.1.1.1 }

will show process is leaking memory.
