From 2682184605848ae28866bf71c7d4774bda7badfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Wed, 19 May 2021 13:32:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: missing error reporting for not selected expressions commit c781471d67a56d7d4c113669a11ede0463b5c719 upstream. Sometimes users forget to turn on nftables extensions from Kconfig that they need. In such case, the error reporting from userspace is misleading: $ sudo nft add rule x y counter Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory add rule x y counter ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Add missing NL_SET_BAD_ATTR() to provide a hint: $ nft add rule x y counter Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory add rule x y counter ^^^^^^^ Fixes: 83d9dcba06c5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: extended netlink error reporting for expressions") Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c index 878ed49d0c569..31016c144c48b 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c @@ -3288,8 +3288,10 @@ static int nf_tables_newrule(struct net *net, struct sock *nlsk, if (n == NFT_RULE_MAXEXPRS) goto err1; err = nf_tables_expr_parse(&ctx, tmp, &info[n]); - if (err < 0) + if (err < 0) { + NL_SET_BAD_ATTR(extack, tmp); goto err1; + } size += info[n].ops->size; n++; }
