[nf-next PATCH v2] netfilter: nf_tables: Reject tables of unsupported family

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



An nftables family is merely a hollow container, its family just a
number and such not reliant on compile-time options other than nftables
support itself. Add an artificial check so attempts at using a family
the kernel can't support fail as early as possible. This helps user
space detect kernels which lack e.g. NFPROTO_INET.
