Re: [xtables-arptables PATCH v2 3/5] nft: nft_xtables_config_load() called only in nft_init()

Hi Pablo,

+int nft_init(struct nft_handle *h, struct builtin_table *t,
>+	     const char *filename)
                          ^^^^^^^^

why do we need this new parameter?

The optional /etc/xtables.conf file should contain the definition for
all the families, that includes IPv4, IPv6, bridge and ARP.

My mistake, I advised that. Imho, it's not relevant to load everything for all families if the user is using only xtables-iptables for instance.

Then ok, let's have one file, but we could make a change in nft_xtables_config_load() so it would load only the tables of the current family.
It's a quick fix to do actually.

I don't see what we get by moving nft_xtables_config_load here.

Why not calling this at only one unique place instead of multiple ones?
You need to call that anyway currently as soon as you list/change the rule set.
It's relevant to move that here, makes code clearer.

Cheers,

Tomasz
