nftables jump <chain> target invalid argument

nftables jump <chain> target invalid argument

[Alex Chapman]

Hi,

When attempting to use the jump target to forward traffic to a newly created chain I get the following error:

[root@home nftables]# nft add rule filter forward ip daddr 9.9.9.9 jump new
<cmdline>:1:1-49: Error: Could not process rule in batch: Invalid argument
add rule filter forward ip daddr 9.9.9.9 jump new
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


[root@home nftables]# nft list table filter
table ip filter {
        chain input {
                 type filter hook input priority 0;
        }

        chain forward {
                 type filter hook forward priority 0;
        }

        chain output {
                 type filter hook output priority 0;
        }

        chain new {
        }
}


Is this the correct use of the command? 

Thanks!

Looks like an issue. I'm investigating into it.
