Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: ignore -EOPNOTSUPP on flowtable device
|
|
|
|
offload setup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On many embedded devices, it is common to configure flowtable offloading for
|
|
|
|
a mix of different devices, some of which have hardware offload support and
|
|
|
|
some of which don't.
|
|
|
|
The current code limits the ability of user space to properly set up such a
|
|
|
|
configuration by only allowing adding devices with hardware offload support to
|
|
|
|
a offload-enabled flowtable.
|
|
|
|
Given that offload-enabled flowtables also imply fallback to pure software
|
|
|
|
offloading, this limitation makes little sense.
|
|
|
|
Fix it by not bailing out when the offload setup returns -EOPNOTSUPP
