[ Upstream commitddbd8be689] On some platforms there is a padding hole in the nft_verdict structure, between the verdict code and the chain pointer. On element insertion, if the new element clashes with an existing one and NLM_F_EXCL flag isn't set, we want to ignore the -EEXIST error as long as the data associated with duplicated element is the same as the existing one. The data equality check uses memcmp. For normal data (NFT_DATA_VALUE) this works fine, but for NFT_DATA_VERDICT padding area leads to spurious failure even if the verdict data is the same. This then makes the insertion fail with 'already exists' error, even though the new "key : data" matches an existing entry and userspace told the kernel that it doesn't want to receive an error indication.

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.
