Fernando Fernandez Mancera 78e7653ded netfilter: nfnetlink: reset nlh pointer during batch replay 
[ Upstream commit 09efbac953 ]

During a batch replay, the nlh pointer is not reset until the parsing of
the commands. Since commit bf2ac490d2 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: Handle
ACK flags for batch messages") that is problematic as the condition to
add an ACK for batch begin will evaluate to true even if NLM_F_ACK
wasn't used for batch begin message.

If there is an error during the command processing, netlink is sending
an ACK despite that. This misleads userspace tools which think that the
return code was 0. Reset the nlh pointer to the original one when a
replay is triggered.

Fixes: bf2ac490d2 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: Handle ACK flags for batch messages")

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 reStructuredText 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.
