Hi Experts，
Recently I hit one netfilter issue, it seems the API breaks or something
else.
On CentOS8.1 with the recent upstream kernel built from source, such as
5.6.0-rc6/5.7.0-rc4. When running the following command:
$ sudo bash -c 'iptables -A FORWARD -o enp3s0f1 -i ceph-brx -j ACCEPT'
iptables v1.8.2 (nf_tables): CHAIN_ADD failed (Operation not supported):
chain INPUT
With the nftables command:
$ sudo nft add chain ip filter INPUT { type filter hook input priority 0\; }
Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported
add chain ip filter INPUT { type filter hook input priority 0; }
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$ sudo nft add chain ip filter FORWARD { type filter hook forward
priority 0\; }
Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported
add chain ip filter FORWARD { type filter hook forward priority 0; }
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$ sudo nft add chain ip filter OUTPUT { type filter hook output
priority 0\; }
Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported
add chain ip filter OUTPUT { type filter hook output priority 0; }
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While tried them with downstream kernel 4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64,
they all could work well.
The nftables/libnftnl packages are:
$ rpm -qa|grep nft
nftables-0.9.0-14.el8.x86_64
libnftnl-1.1.1-4.el8.x86_64
And we have tried v5.7.0-rc4+ with f31 userspace, they all could work
well too.
From above I just suspect the API should break. Could someone kindly
point out which and where ?
Thanks
