Subject: [PATCH] [net-next] netfilter: bridge: make NF_TABLES_BRIDGE tristate

The new nft_meta_bridge code fails to link as built-in when NF_TABLES
is a loadable module.

net/bridge/netfilter/nft_meta_bridge.o: In function `nft_meta_bridge_get_eval':
nft_meta_bridge.c:(.text+0x1e8): undefined reference to `nft_meta_get_eval'
net/bridge/netfilter/nft_meta_bridge.o: In function `nft_meta_bridge_get_init':
nft_meta_bridge.c:(.text+0x468): undefined reference to `nft_meta_get_init'
nft_meta_bridge.c:(.text+0x49c): undefined reference to `nft_parse_register'
nft_meta_bridge.c:(.text+0x4cc): undefined reference to `nft_validate_register_store'
net/bridge/netfilter/nft_meta_bridge.o: In function `nft_meta_bridge_module_exit':
nft_meta_bridge.c:(.exit.text+0x14): undefined reference to `nft_unregister_expr'
net/bridge/netfilter/nft_meta_bridge.o: In function `nft_meta_bridge_module_init':
nft_meta_bridge.c:(.init.text+0x14): undefined reference to `nft_register_expr'
net/bridge/netfilter/nft_meta_bridge.o:(.rodata+0x60): undefined reference to `nft_meta_get_dump'
net/bridge/netfilter/nft_meta_bridge.o:(.rodata+0x88): undefined reference to `nft_meta_set_eval'

This can happen because the NF_TABLES_BRIDGE dependency itself is just a
'bool'. Make the symbol a 'tristate' instead so Kconfig can propagate the
dependencies correctly.

Hm. Something breaks here. Investigating. Looks like bridge support is
gone after this, nft fails to register the filter chain type:

# nft add table bridge x
# nft add chain bridge x y { type filter hook input priority 0\; }
Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory

Found it. It seems this patch is needed, on top of your patch.

I can just squash this chunk into your original patch and push it out
if you're OK witht this.

Thanks.
