The RETURN default policy is mandatory in user-defined chains.
Builtin chains must have one of ACCEPT or DROP.

So, with this patch, ebtables-compat ends with:

Command:			Result:

-L				Always RETURN for user-defined chains
-P builtin RETURN		Policy RETURN only allowed for user defined chains
-P builtin ACCEPT|DROP		ok
-P userdefined RETURN		Default policy in user-defined chains is RETURN
-P userdefined ACCEPT|DROP	Default policy in user-defined chains is RETURN
-N userdefined			ok
-N userdefined -P RETURN	Default policy in user-defined chains is RETURN
-N userdefined -P ACCEPT|DROP	Default policy in user-defined chains is RETURN

Good that this looks smaller, applied thanks.

Wait.

This changes the existing behaviour. I mean, this check rejects rules
using RETURN from base chains, that should still be there to mimic
ebtables behaviour. Why change this?

Please use the same error message the ebtables uses:

"Policy RETURN only allowed for user defined chains");

And explicitly check for RETURN instead. This is a compat tool, we
should spot the same errors than the original.

I don't see such behaviour change:

Bridge chain: test2, entries: 2, policy: RETURN
-i eth0 -j ACCEPT
-i eth0 -j RETURN

I can still use rules with RETURN target.

The change is in the -P path, not in -j.

Ok, sending v2.
