nft: Fix for concurrent noflush restore calls
Transaction refresh was broken with regards to nft_chain_restore(): It created a rule flush batch object only if the chain was found in cache and a chain add object only if the chain was not found. Yet with concurrent ruleset updates, one has to expect both situations: * If a chain vanishes, the rule flush job must be skipped and instead the chain add job become active. * If a chain appears, the chain add job must be skipped and instead rules flushed. Change the code accordingly: Create both batch objects and set their 'skip' field depending on the situation in cache and adjust both in nft_refresh_transaction(). As a side-effect, the implicit rule flush becomes explicit and all handling of implicit batch jobs is dropped along with the related field indicating such. Reuse the 'implicit' parameter of __nft_rule_flush() to control the initial 'skip' field value instead. A subtle caveat is vanishing of existing chains: Creating the chain add job based on the chain in cache causes a netlink message containing that chain's handle which the kernel dislikes. Therefore unset the chain's handle in that case. Fixes: 58d7de0181f61 ("xtables: handle concurrent ruleset modifications") Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
