From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 77a92189ecfd061616ad531d386639aab7baaad9 ] Replace EBUSY by EEXIST in the following cases: - If the user adds a chain with a different configuration such as different type, hook and priority. - If the user adds a non-base chain that clashes with an existing basechain. - If the user adds a { key : value } mapping element and the key exists but the value differs. - If the device already belongs to an existing flowtable. User describe that this error reporting is confusing: - https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176 - https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413 Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c | 16 +++++++--------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c index 88325b264737f..d31832d32e028 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c @@ -2037,7 +2037,7 @@ static int nf_tables_updchain(struct nft_ctx *ctx, u8 genmask, u8 policy, if (nla[NFTA_CHAIN_HOOK]) { if (!nft_is_base_chain(chain)) - return -EBUSY; + return -EEXIST; err = nft_chain_parse_hook(ctx->net, nla, &hook, ctx->family, false); @@ -2047,21 +2047,21 @@ static int nf_tables_updchain(struct nft_ctx *ctx, u8 genmask, u8 policy, basechain = nft_base_chain(chain); if (basechain->type != hook.type) { nft_chain_release_hook(&hook); - return -EBUSY; + return -EEXIST; } if (ctx->family == NFPROTO_NETDEV) { if (!nft_hook_list_equal(&basechain->hook_list, &hook.list)) { nft_chain_release_hook(&hook); - return -EBUSY; + return -EEXIST; } } else { ops = &basechain->ops; if (ops->hooknum != hook.num || ops->priority != hook.priority) { nft_chain_release_hook(&hook); - return -EBUSY; + return -EEXIST; } } nft_chain_release_hook(&hook); @@ -5160,10 +5160,8 @@ static int nft_add_set_elem(struct nft_ctx *ctx, struct nft_set *set, if (nft_set_ext_exists(ext, NFT_SET_EXT_DATA) ^ nft_set_ext_exists(ext2, NFT_SET_EXT_DATA) || nft_set_ext_exists(ext, NFT_SET_EXT_OBJREF) ^ - nft_set_ext_exists(ext2, NFT_SET_EXT_OBJREF)) { - err = -EBUSY; + nft_set_ext_exists(ext2, NFT_SET_EXT_OBJREF)) goto err_element_clash; - } if ((nft_set_ext_exists(ext, NFT_SET_EXT_DATA) && nft_set_ext_exists(ext2, NFT_SET_EXT_DATA) && memcmp(nft_set_ext_data(ext), @@ -5171,7 +5169,7 @@ static int nft_add_set_elem(struct nft_ctx *ctx, struct nft_set *set, (nft_set_ext_exists(ext, NFT_SET_EXT_OBJREF) && nft_set_ext_exists(ext2, NFT_SET_EXT_OBJREF) && *nft_set_ext_obj(ext) != *nft_set_ext_obj(ext2))) - err = -EBUSY; + goto err_element_clash; else if (!(nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_EXCL)) err = 0; } else if (err == -ENOTEMPTY) { @@ -6308,7 +6306,7 @@ static int nft_register_flowtable_net_hooks(struct net *net, list_for_each_entry(hook2, &ft->hook_list, list) { if (hook->ops.dev == hook2->ops.dev && hook->ops.pf == hook2->ops.pf) { - err = -EBUSY; + err = -EEXIST; goto err_unregister_net_hooks; } } -- 2.25.1
