[PATCH] doc: Document that kernel may accept unimplemented expressions

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

 



Kernel silently accepts input chain filters using meta skuid, meta
skgid, meta cgroup or socket cgroupv2 expressions but they don't work
yet. Warn the users of this possibility.

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 ---------------------------------
 
+Note that the kernel may accept expressions without errors even if it
+doesn't implement the feature. For example, input chain filters using
+*meta skuid*, *meta skgid*, *meta cgroup* or *socket cgroupv2*
+expressions are silently accepted but they don't work yet.

 EXIT STATUS
 -----------
 On success, nft exits with a status of 0. Unspecified errors cause it to exit
