* restore legacy behaviour of iptables-restore when rules start with -4/-6Adel Belhouane2019-07-291-0/+26
v2: moved examples to testcase files Legacy implementation of iptables-restore / ip6tables-restore allowed to insert a -4 or -6 option at start of a rule line to ignore it if not matching the command's protocol. This allowed to mix specific ipv4 and ipv6 rules in a single file, as still described in iptables 1.8.3's man page in options -4 and -6. The implementation over nftables doesn't behave correctly in this case: iptables-nft-restore accepts both -4 or -6 lines and ip6tables-nft-restore throws an error on -4. There's a distribution bug report mentioning this problem: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925343 Restore the legacy behaviour: - let do_parse() return and thus not add a command in those restore special cases - let do_commandx() ignore CMD_NONE instead of bailing out I didn't attempt to fix all minor anomalies, but just to fix the regression. For example in the line below, iptables should throw an error instead of accepting -6 and then adding it as ipv4: % iptables-nft -6 -A INPUT -p tcp -j ACCEPT Signed-off-by: Adel Belhouane <bugs.a.b@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
