From: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> If we add a chain and specify the nonexistent chain type, chain_type_name_lookup will return a NULL pointer, and meet the assert condition in xstrdup. Fix crash like this: # nft add chain filter input {type none hook input priority 0\;} nft: utils.c:63: xstrdup: Assertion `s != ((void *)0)' failed.
