From: Liping Zhang zlpnobody@gmail.com

[ Upstream commit 277a292835c196894ef895d5e1fd6170bb916f55 ]

Currently, after adding the following nft rules: # nft add set x target1 { type ipv4_addr ; flags timeout ;} # nft add rule x y set add ip daddr timeout 1d @target1 counter

the counters will always be zero despite of the elements are added to the dynamic set "target1" or not, as we will break the nft expr traversal unconditionally: # nft list ruleset ... set target1 { ... elements = { 8.8.8.8 expires 23h59m53s} } chain output { ... set add ip daddr timeout 1d @target1 counter packets 0 bytes 0 ^ ^ ... }

Since we add the elements to the set successfully, we should continue to the next expression.

Additionally, if elements are added to "flow table" successfully, we will _always_ continue to the next expr, even if the operation is _OP_ADD. So it's better to keep them to be consistent.
