Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] netfilter: nf_tables: missing error reporting for not selected expressions
Date: Thu, 27 May 2021 21:01:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210527190115.98503-3-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210527190115.98503-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

Sometimes users forget to turn on nftables extensions from Kconfig that
they need. In such case, the error reporting from userspace is
misleading:

 $ sudo nft add rule x y counter
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 add rule x y counter
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Add missing NL_SET_BAD_ATTR() to provide a hint:

 $ nft add rule x y counter
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 add rule x y counter
              ^^^^^^^

Fixes: 83d9dcba06c5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: extended netlink error reporting for expressions")
