Hi David,
Before commit 18a8021a7be3 ("net/ipv4: Plumb support for filtering route
dumps"), when we dump a non-exist table, ip cmd exits silently.
# ip -4 route list table 1
# echo $?
0
After commit 18a8021a7be3 ("net/ipv4: Plumb support for filtering route
dumps"). When we dump a non-exist table, as we returned -ENOENT, ip route
shows:
# ip -4 route show table 1
Error: ipv4: FIB table does not exist.
Dump terminated
# echo $?
2
For me it looks make sense to return -ENOENT if we do not have the route
table. But this changes the userspace behavior. Do you think if we need to
keep backward compatible or just let it do as it is right now?
Thanks
