src: allow for updating devices on existing netdev chain
This patch allows you to add/remove devices to an existing chain:
# cat ruleset.nft
table netdev x {
chain y {
type filter hook ingress devices = { eth0 } priority 0; policy accept;
}
}
# nft -f ruleset.nft
# nft add chain netdev x y '{ devices = { eth1 }; }'
# nft list ruleset
table netdev x {
chain y {
type filter hook ingress devices = { eth0, eth1 } priority 0; policy accept;
}
}
# nft delete chain netdev x y '{ devices = { eth0 }; }'
# nft list ruleset
table netdev x {
chain y {
type filter hook ingress devices = { eth1 } priority 0; policy accept;
}
}
This feature allows for creating an empty netdev chain, with no devices.
In such case, no packets are seen until a device is registered.
This patch includes extended netlink error reporting:
# nft add chain netdev x y '{ devices = { x } ; }'
Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
add chain netdev x y { devices = { x } ; }
