+Subject: [PATCH] nft: cache: Retry if kernel returns EINTR
+
+In case of parallel ruleset updates, recvfrom() calls may return EINTR.
+Due to the fact that cache fetches may get triggered while iterating
+over cache elements, __nft_build_cache must not restart based on
+comparing before and after generation ID like upstream does. Instead,
+just retry the recvfrom() calls until they either succeed or return a
+different error than EINTR.
