Linux kernel source tree

Getting creative with nft and omitting the interval_overlap() check from the set_overlap() function, without omitting set_overlap() altogether, led to the observation of a partial overlap that wasn't detected, and would actually result in replacement of the end element of an existing interval. This is due to the fact that we'll return -EEXIST on a matching, pre-existing start element, instead of -ENOTEMPTY, and the error is cleared by API if NLM_F_EXCL is not given. At this point, we can insert a matching start, and duplicate the end element as long as we don't end up into other intervals. For instance, inserting interval 0 - 2 with an existing 0 - 3 interval would result in a single 0 - 2 interval, and a dangling '3' end element. This is because nft will proceed after inserting the '0' start element as no error is reported, and no further conflicting intervals are detected on insertion of the end element. This needs a different approach as it's a local condition that can be detected by looking for duplicate ends coming from left and right, separately. Track those and directly report -ENOTEMPTY on duplicated end elements for a matching start. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <sbrivio@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
