[PATCH] nwfilter: Fix rule priority problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072292

Fix a problem related to rule priorities that did not allow to
have rules applied that had a higher priority than the chain they
were in. In this case the chain did not exist yet when the rule
was instantiated. The solution is to adjust the priority of rules
if the priority of the chain is of higher value. That way the chain
will be created before the rule.
