[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.8 56/62] netfilter: nf_tables: report EEXIST on overlaps

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Fri Aug 21 2020 - 12:20:25 EST


From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 77a92189ecfd061616ad531d386639aab7baaad9 ]

Replace EBUSY by EEXIST in the following cases:

- If the user adds a chain with a different configuration such as different
type, hook and priority.

- If the user adds a non-base chain that clashes with an existing basechain.

- If the user adds a { key : value } mapping element and the key exists
but the value differs.

- If the device already belongs to an existing flowtable.

User describe that this error reporting is confusing:

- https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413
