[ Upstream commit e9919a24d3022f72bcadc407e73a6ef17093a849 ] With commit 153380ec4b9 ("fib_rules: Added NLM_F_EXCL support to fib_nl_newrule") we now able to check if a rule already exists. But this only works with iproute2. For other tools like libnl, NetworkManager, it still could add duplicate rules with only NLM_F_CREATE flag, like [localhost ~ ]# ip rule 0: from all lookup local 32766: from all lookup main 32767: from all lookup default 100000: from 192.168.7.5 lookup 5 100000: from 192.168.7.5 lookup 5 As it doesn't make sense to create two duplicate rules, let's just return 0 if the rule exists.

These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
