Hello Greg,

Kernel 4.2.4 is still broken regarding iptables/ipset:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1272645

Kernel 4.1.10 works well.

Please fix it ASAP.
Fix it with what patch?

Don't know, just detected it. I think this is a new issue introduced with 4.2.x by reworking the "new allocator api" but it is just a guess what I saw so far. I was not involved in development.

Can you read something from the fedora bug report?

There were already some fixes in 4.2.4 but I guess there are still unknown bugs introduced with 4.2.x.

The already fixed ones merged in 4.2.4:

Thank you.

Ciao,
Gerhard
