Running new 'set_flush_add_atomic_bitmap' test case for nftables.git with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST=y yields: net/netfilter/nft_set_bitmap.c:231 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!! rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by nft/4008: #0: ffff888147f79cd8 (&nft_net->commit_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nf_tables_valid_genid+0x2f/0xd0 lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x116/0x160 nft_bitmap_walk+0x22d/0x240 nf_tables_delsetelem+0x1010/0x1a00 .. This is a false positive, the list cannot be altered while the transaction mutex is held, so pass the relevant argument to the iterator.
