[FIXED] [nftables] Remove all elements from a given set

Hello,

I'm trying to remove all elements from a given set in my firewall, obviously, it's not working.

root@krkrkr ~ # nft list set inet filter blackhole
table inet filter {
        set blackhole {
                type ipv4_addr
                elements = { 42.42.42.42, 43.43.43.43 }
        }
}
root@krkrkr ~ # nft flush set inet filter blackhole
Error: Could not process rule: Invalid argument
flush set inet filter blackhole
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1 root@krkrkr ~ #

Here is what the manual says about what i'm trying to do :

To me it seems like i can use flush the same way i use list.
I'm kinda lost here, anyone have an idea or is able to reproduce that ?
Have a good day !

EDIT : fixed, bad kernel version.

Carefully explaining your problem is half the solution.
