From 8764c35382fdf8ae6c7c4252042fc32397197ffe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2013 20:06:51 +0100 Subject: netlink: improve rule deletion per chain With this patch, nft asks the kernel for deleting all rules in a chain. This replaces the current behaviour that requires to dump all the rules, then iterate over that list to delete one by one, which is prone to races and slowier. After this patch, the following two commands are equivalent: nft flush chain filter input nft delete rule filter input Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- src/netlink.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/netlink.c b/src/netlink.c index 15cba793..533634af 100644 --- a/src/netlink.c +++ b/src/netlink.c @@ -645,7 +645,7 @@ int netlink_list_chain(struct netlink_ctx *ctx, const struct handle *h, int netlink_flush_chain(struct netlink_ctx *ctx, const struct handle *h, const struct location *loc) { - return netlink_flush_rules(ctx, h, loc); + return netlink_del_rule_batch(ctx, h, loc); } int netlink_add_table(struct netlink_ctx *ctx, const struct handle *h, -- cgit v1.2.3
