From 59900e0a019e7c2bdb7809a03ed5742d311b15b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 17:55:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: fix error handling of rule replacement In general, if a transaction object is added to the list successfully, we can rely on the abort path to undo what we've done. This allows us to simplify the error handling of the rule replacement path in nf_tables_newrule(). This implicitly fixes an unnecessary removal of the old rule, which needs to be left in place if we fail to replace.
