Libnftables does not handle errors that libmnl functions may return properly: 1. Retriable errors indicated by errno=EINTR are not retried, but rather treted as fatal. 2. Instead of reporting the error to the caller, functions call exit() on error, which terminates the caller process. This patch set partly addresses the second point, by calling abort() instead of exit() on ABI error, that will at least give more information to the sysadmin than quiet termination of a process. It attempts to properly address the first point, by introducing retry logic when mnl_socket_recvfrom() or mnl_cb_run() return -1 with errno=EINTR. It would be desirable to fully address the second point at some future time, though it requires some redesign of the code structure.
