This un-breaks lookups in sets that have the 'dynamic' flag set.
Given this active example configuration:
table filter {
set set1 {
type ipv4_addr
size 64
flags dynamic,timeout
timeout 1m
}
chain input {
type filter hook input priority 0; policy accept;
}
}
... this works:
nft add rule ip filter input add @set1 { ip saddr }
-> whenever rule is triggered, the source ip address is inserted
into the set (if it did not exist).
This won't work:
nft add rule ip filter input ip saddr @set1 counter
Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported
In other words, we can add entries to the set, but then can't make
matching decision based on that set.
That is just wrong -- all set backends support lookups (else they would
not be very useful).
The failure comes from an explicit rejection in nft_lookup.c.
Looking at the history, it seems like NFT_SET_EVAL used to mean
'set contains expressions' (aka. "is a meter"), for instance something like
nft add rule ip filter input meter example { ip saddr limit rate 10/second }
or
nft add rule ip filter input meter example { ip saddr counter }
The actual meaning of NFT_SET_EVAL however, is
'set can be updated from the packet path'.
'meters' and packet-path insertions into sets, such as
'add @set { ip saddr }' use exactly the same kernel code (nft_dynset.c)
and thus require a set backend that provides the ->update() function.
The only set that provides this also is the only one that has the
NFT_SET_EVAL feature flag.
Removing the wrong check makes the above example work.
While at it, also fix the flag check during set instantiation to
allow supported combinations only.
