Thanks. I made a slight variant of your patch.

I'm attaching it, it is also fixing the problem but it introduced
nft_expr_more() and use it everywhere.

Let me know if this looks fine to you.

Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: fix KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in
nft_flow_rule_create

This patch fixes the issue due to:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in nft_flow_rule_create+0x622/0x6a2
net/netfilter/nf_tables_offload.c:40
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888103910b58 by task syz-executor227/16244

The error happens when expr->ops is accessed early on before performing the boundary check and after nft_expr_next() moves the expr to go out-of-bounds.

This patch checks the boundary condition before expr->ops that fixes the slab-out-of-bounds Read issue.

Add nft_expr_more() and use it to fix this problem.
