in case you have a chance to test it too.
Thanks.

Hi,
Could you give a try to this quick patch?
I will have to add BUILD_BUG_ON() as well to make sure struct nft_set_ext is aligned so this atomic operation does not break again.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your report, it is an unalign atomic that results from this.
I will post a patch asap to address this.

Greetings, We are seeing a regression in 6.6.66 which I have narrowed down to this commit: stable: 86c27603514cb8ead29857365cdd145404ee9706 upstream: 7ffc7481153bbabf3332c6a19b289730c7e1edf5
Kernel version: 6.6.66 on aarch64 with 16k page size Last known good version: 6.6.65
Steps to repro:
- run a 16k page size kernel (check with getconf PAGESIZE)
- try to load an nftables config file on the problem
Expected:
- no errors
Actual:
- system enters a broken state, with the following trace in dmesg:

By looking at the diff between 6.6.65 and 6.6.66 I was able to narrow it down to the above commit and I can confirm that reverting it fixes the issue.
