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
