Subject: [PATCH] ebtables: Allow RETURN target rules in user defined chains
During loop checking ebtables marks entries with '1 << NF_BR_NUMHOOKS' if
they're called from a base chain rather than a user defined chain.
This can be used by ebtables targets that can encode a special return
value to bail out if e.g. RETURN is used from a base chain.
Unfortunately, this is broken, since the '1 << NF_BR_NUMHOOKS' is also
copied to called user-defined-chains (i.e., a user defined chain can no
longer be distinguished from a base chain):
root@OpenWrt:~# ebtables -N foo
root@OpenWrt:~# ebtables -A OUTPUT -j foo
root@OpenWrt:~# ebtables -A foo -j mark --mark-or 3 --mark-target RETURN
--mark-target RETURN not allowed on base chain.
This works if -A OUTPUT -j foo is omitted, but will still appear
if we try to call foo from OUTPUT afterwards.
After this patch we still reject
'-A OUTPUT -j mark .. --mark-target RETURN'.
