[PATCH 5.2 071/124] netfilter: xt_physdev: Fix spurious error message in physdev_mt_check
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Sep 19 2019 - 18:10:33 EST
From: Todd Seidelmann <tseidelmann@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 3cf2f450fff304be9cf4868bf0df17f253bc5b1c ]
Simplify the check in physdev_mt_check() to emit an error message
only when passed an invalid chain (ie, NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT).
This avoids cluttering up the log with errors against valid rules.
For large/heavily modified rulesets, current behavior can quickly
overwhelm the ring buffer, because this function gets called on
every change, regardless of the rule that was changed.
