The kernel does not currently validate that both the minimum and maximum
ports of a port range are specified. This can lead user space to think
that a filter matching on a port range was successfully added, when in
fact it was not. For example, with a patched (buggy) iproute2 that only
sends the minimum port, the following commands do not return an error:
# tc filter add dev swp1 ingress pref 1 proto ip flower ip_proto udp src_port 100-200 action pass
# tc filter add dev swp1 ingress pref 1 proto ip flower ip_proto udp dst_port 100-200 action pass
# tc filter show dev swp1 ingress
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
eth_type ipv4
ip_proto udp
not_in_hw
action order 1: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 1 ref 1 bind 1
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x2
eth_type ipv4
ip_proto udp
not_in_hw
action order 1: gact action pass
random type none pass val 0
index 2 ref 1 bind 1
Fix by returning an error unless both ports are specified:
# tc filter add dev swp1 ingress pref 1 proto ip flower ip_proto udp src_port 100-200 action pass
Error: Both min and max source ports must be specified.
We have an error talking to the kernel
# tc filter add dev swp1 ingress pref 1 proto ip flower ip_proto udp dst_port 100-200 action pass
Error: Both min and max destination ports must be specified.
We have an error talking to the 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 Restructured Text 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.
