From 947fec630c41992dc9e339971041134b274842b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hangbin Liu Date: Tue, 7 May 2019 17:11:18 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fib_rules: return 0 directly if an exactly same rule exists when NLM_F_EXCL not supplied [ Upstream commit e9919a24d3022f72bcadc407e73a6ef17093a849 ] With commit 153380ec4b9 ("fib_rules: Added NLM_F_EXCL support to fib_nl_newrule") we now able to check if a rule already exists. But this only works with iproute2. For other tools like libnl, NetworkManager, it still could add duplicate rules with only NLM_F_CREATE flag, like [localhost ~ ]# ip rule 0: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default 100000: from 192.168.7.5 lookup 5 100000: from 192.168.7.5 lookup 5 As it doesn't make sense to create two duplicate rules, let's just return 0 if the rule exists.
