[PATCH -next 1/2] netfilter: nf_queue: cleanup copy_range usage

[Florian Westphal]

For every packet queued, we check if configured copy_range
is 0, and treat that as 'copy entire packet'.

We can move this check to the queue configuration, and can
set copy_range appropriately.

Also, convert repetitive '0xffff - NLA_HDRLEN' to a macro.

[ queue initialization still used 0xffff, although its harmless
  since the initial setting is overwritten on queue config ]

 Changes since v1:
 - split CAP_LEN change into separate patch
 - also move comment

[PATCH -next 2/2] netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: only add CAP_LEN attr when needed

[Florian Westphal]

CAP_LEN contains the size of the network packet we're queueing to
userspace, i.e. normally it is the same as the NFQA_PAYLOAD attribute len.

Include it only in the unlikely case when NFQA_PAYLOAD is truncated due
to copy_range limitations.

 Tested with examples/nf-queue.c from libnfqueue, it still
 prints 'truncated packet' on 1st packet sent from tracepath.

Applied, thanks Florian.

Also applied, thanks!
