Subject: [PATCH nft 0/3] src: make set-merging less zealous
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2023 18:06:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231213170650.13451-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)

I got a large corpus of various crashes in the set internals code
tripping over expressions that should not exist, e.g. a range expression
with a symbolic expression.

From initial investigation it looks like to root cause is the same,
we have back-to-back declarations of the same set name, evaluation
is returning errors, but we instist to continue evaluation.

Then, we try to merge set elements and end up merging
such a 'redefined set' with an erroneous one.

This series adds an initial assertion which helped to make
crashes easier to backtrace.

Second patch adds a 'errors' flag to struct set and raises
it once we saw soemthing funky.

Patch 3 also sets/uses this when evaluating the set itself.

Alternative would be to make the lowlevel code more robust
of these kinds of issues, but that might take a while
to fix, also because this oce is partially not able to
indicate errors.

Florian Westphal (3):
  intervals: BUG on prefix expressions without value
  src: do not merge a set with a erroneous one
  evaluate: don't assert if set->data is NULL
