However, parse_egress() fails to correctly parse "index" if it's the first argument. For example: # tc filter add ... action mirred index 5 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument (unnecessary RTNETLINK issued, should have been parse error) # tc filter add ... action mirred index 5 egress redirect dev eth0 bad action type egress (should have been parsed successfully) Fix parse_egress as follows: - continue parsing after valid "index" is seen - don't issue the RTNETLINK unless valid "egress" is seen Signed-off-by: Shmulik Ladkani --- Well, both man and usage suggest "index" comes after the egress clause: tc ... action mirred DIRECTION ACTION [ index INDEX ] dev DEVICENAME So an alternative would be banning "index" as 1st argument in parse_mirred. tc/m_mirred.c | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/tc/m_mirred.c b/tc/m_mirred.c index 11f4c9b46f..d3e750b89b 100644 --- a/tc/m_mirred.c +++ b/tc/m_mirred.c @@ -91,9 +91,8 @@ parse_egress(struct action_util *a, int *argc_p, char ***argv_p, } iok++; if (!ok) { - argc--; - argv++; - break; + NEXT_ARG(); + continue; } } else if (!ok) { fprintf(stderr, "was expecting egress (%s)\n", *argv); @@ -134,7 +133,7 @@ parse_egress(struct action_util *a, int *argc_p, char ***argv_p, NEXT_ARG(); } - if (!ok && !iok) { + if (!ok) { return -1; } -- 2.7.4
