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.
Prepared against net-2.6 tree.
