[iptables PATCH 4/4] nft: Fix EPERM handling for extensions without rev 0

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

 



Treating revision 0 as compatible in EPERM case works fine as long as
there is a revision 0 of that extension defined in DSO. Fix the code for
others: Extend the EPERM handling to all revisions and keep the existing
warning for revision 0.

Fixes: 17534cb18ed0a ("Improve error messages for unsupported extensions")
