We can oops in nf_tables_fill_rule_info().
Its not possible to fetch previous element in rcu-protected lists
when deletions are not prevented somehow: list_del_rcu poisons
the ->prev pointer value.
Before rcu-conversion this was safe as dump operations did hold
nfnetlink mutex.
Pass previous rule as argument, obtained by keeping a pointer to
the previous rule during traversal.

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.
