Subject: [PATCH (resend)][EBTABLES]: Fix alignment checks in ebt_among.ko module.
Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 11:28:44 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47C7C23C.2050100@openvz.org> (raw)

I've sent this patch some days ago to Bart, but with no answer...

When trying to do

	# ebtables -A FORWARD --among-src 0:12:34:56:78:9a=192.168.0.10 -j ACCEPT

on x86_64 box the ebt_among->check() callback warns me that

	ebtables: among: wrong size: 1060 against expected 1056, rounded to 1056

Checking the ebtables sources, I found that the alignment is done
differently in the tool and the kernel. Tool makes it like this:

	EBT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ebt_among_info)) + X

while the kernel module like this:

	EBT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct ebt_among_info) + X)

So the suggested fix is to move the alignment in the kernel. After
the fix the rule is added and appears in the ebtables -L output.

Originally developed by Evgeny Kravtsunov.
