Currently the iptables lock is hardcoded as "/run/xtables.lock".
Allow users to change this path using the --with-xt-lock-name
option to ./configure option. This is useful on systems like
Android which do not have /run.
Tested on Ubuntu, as follows:
1. By default, the lock is placed in /run/xtables.lock:
$ make distclean-recursive && ./autogen.sh &&
./configure --disable-nftables --prefix /tmp/iptables &&
make -j64 &&
make install &&
sudo strace -e open,flock /tmp/iptables/sbin/iptables -L foo
...
open("/run/xtables.lock", O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, 0600) = 3
flock(3, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = 0
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
2. Specifying the lock results in the expected location being
used:
$ make distclean-recursive && ./autogen.sh && \
./configure --disable-nftables --prefix /tmp/iptables \
--with-xt-lock-name=/tmp/iptables/run/xtables.lock &&
make -j64 &&
make install &&
sudo strace -e open,flock /tmp/iptables/sbin/iptables -L foo
...
open("/tmp/iptables/run/xtables.lock", O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, 0600) = 3
flock(3, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = 0
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
