Inefficient bytecode crashes ruleset listing: [ meta load nfproto => reg 1 ] [ cmp eq reg 1 0x00000002 ] <-- this specifies NFPROTO_IPV4 but table family is IPv4! [ payload load 4b @ network header + 12 => reg 1 ] [ cmp gte reg 1 0x1000000a ] [ cmp lte reg 1 0x1f00000a ] [ masq ] This IPv4 table obviously only see IPv4 traffic, but bytecode specifies a redundant match on NFPROTO_IPV4. After this patch, listing works: # nft list ruleset table ip crash { chain crash { type nat hook postrouting priority srcnat; policy accept; ip saddr 10.0.0.16-10.0.0.31 masquerade } } Skip protocol context update in case that this information is redundant.
