Since commit c759027a526ac, printed rules may or may not end with a newline depending on whether userdata was present or not. Deal with this inconsistency by avoiding the trailing newline in all cases. Fixes: c759027a526ac ("rule, set_elem: remove trailing \n in userdata snprintf") Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx> --- This supersedes the previous patch with subject: Partially revert "rule, set_elem: remove trailing \n in userdata snprintf" by solving the problem in the opposite direction. As correctly assessed by Pablo, this way is consistent with other printers. I tested the change with nftables and iptables testsuites. It breaks a single test in the latter which compares full ruleset debug output against a record. To fix that, one could just pass --ignore-blank-lines parameter to the diff call. --- src/rule.c | 10 ++++------ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/rule.c b/src/rule.c index 811d5a213f835..c22918a8f3527 100644 --- a/src/rule.c +++ b/src/rule.c @@ -573,23 +573,21 @@ static int nftnl_rule_snprintf_default(char *buf, size_t remain, sep = " "; } - ret = snprintf(buf + offset, remain, "\n"); - SNPRINTF_BUFFER_SIZE(ret, remain, offset); - list_for_each_entry(expr, &r->expr_list, head) { - ret = snprintf(buf + offset, remain, " [ %s ", expr->ops->name); + ret = snprintf(buf + offset, remain, + "\n [ %s ", expr->ops->name); SNPRINTF_BUFFER_SIZE(ret, remain, offset); ret = nftnl_expr_snprintf(buf + offset, remain, expr, type, flags); SNPRINTF_BUFFER_SIZE(ret, remain, offset); - ret = snprintf(buf + offset, remain, "]\n"); + ret = snprintf(buf + offset, remain, "]"); SNPRINTF_BUFFER_SIZE(ret, remain, offset); } if (r->user.len) { - ret = snprintf(buf + offset, remain, " userdata = { "); + ret = snprintf(buf + offset, remain, "\n userdata = { "); SNPRINTF_BUFFER_SIZE(ret, remain, offset); for (i = 0; i < r->user.len; i++) { -- 2.43.0
