From 688c15017d5cd5aac882400782e7213d40dc3556 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2025 14:36:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: don't unregister hook when table is dormant When nf_tables_updchain encounters an error, hook registration needs to be rolled back. This should only be done if the hook has been registered, which won't happen when the table is flagged as dormant (inactive). Just move the assignment into the registration block.
