"ebtables --limit" fails to load ebt_limit.ko when xt_limit.ko is loaded.
Issue
- "ebtables --limit" fails to load ebt_limit.ko when xt_limit.ko is loaded.
Steps to Reproduce:
# modprobe xt_limit
# ebtables -I INPUT --limit 1/s -j ACCEPT
Unable to update the kernel. Two possible causes:
1. Multiple ebtables programs were executing simultaneously. The ebtables
userspace tool doesn't by default support multiple ebtables programs running
concurrently. The ebtables option --concurrent or a tool like flock can be
used to support concurrent scripts that update the ebtables kernel tables.
2. The kernel doesn't support a certain ebtables extension, consider
recompiling your kernel or insmod the extension.
