If --echo is used the rule cache will not be populated. This causes rules added using the "index" keyword to be simply appended to the chain. The bug was introduced in commit 3ab02db5f836 ("cache: add NFT_CACHE_UPDATE and NFT_CACHE_FLUSHED flags"). Signed-off-by: Eric Garver <eric@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- I think the issue is in cache_evaluate(). It sets the flags to NFT_CACHE_FULL and then bails early, but I'm not sure of the best way to fix it. So I'll start by submitting a test case. :) --- tests/shell/testcases/cache/0007_echo_cache_init_0 | 14 ++++++++++++++ .../cache/dumps/0007_echo_cache_init_0.nft | 7 +++++++ 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+) create mode 100755 tests/shell/testcases/cache/0007_echo_cache_init_0 create mode 100644 tests/shell/testcases/cache/dumps/0007_echo_cache_init_0.nft diff --git a/tests/shell/testcases/cache/0007_echo_cache_init_0 b/tests/shell/testcases/cache/0007_echo_cache_init_0 new file mode 100755 index 000000000000..280a0d06bdc3 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/shell/testcases/cache/0007_echo_cache_init_0 @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ +#!/bin/bash + +set -e + +$NFT -i >/dev/null <<EOF +add table inet t +add chain inet t c +add rule inet t c accept comment "first" +add rule inet t c accept comment "third" +EOF + +# make sure the rule cache gets initialized when using echo option +# +$NFT --echo add rule inet t c index 0 accept comment '"second"' >/dev/null diff --git a/tests/shell/testcases/cache/dumps/0007_echo_cache_init_0.nft b/tests/shell/testcases/cache/dumps/0007_echo_cache_init_0.nft new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c774ee72a683 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/shell/testcases/cache/dumps/0007_echo_cache_init_0.nft @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ +table inet t { + chain c { + accept comment "first" + accept comment "second" + accept comment "third" + } +} -- 2.20.1
