Subject: [iptables PATCH v2 4/4] nft: Fix EPERM handling for extensions without rev 0
Date: Fri, 6 May 2022 13:43:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220506114328.9739-1-phil@nwl.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220504103416.19712-5-phil@nwl.cc>
Treating revision 0 as compatible in EPERM case works fine as long as
there is a revision 0 of that extension defined in DSO. Fix the code for
others: Extend the EPERM handling to all revisions and keep the existing
warning for revision 0.
Fixes: 17534cb18ed0a ("Improve error messages for unsupported extensions")
Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
