Subject: [NETFILTER -stable 1/2]: nf_conntrack: padding breaks conntrack hash on ARM
Date: Tue, 13 May 2008 13:39:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <48297DE1.901@trash.net> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 364 bytes --]

These patches for stable-2.6.25 fix two netfilter bugs:

- a hashing change broke on ARM because of holes in struct
   nf_conntrack. Fixed by 1/2 by memsetting the entire struct
   to make sure the holes are initialized to zero.

- netfilter queueing might panic when enlarging packets,
   fixed by 2/2 by using the proper size for the skb.

Please apply, thanks.

[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: padding breaks conntrack hash on ARM

Upstream commit 443a70d50:

commit 0794935e "[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: optimize hash_conntrack()"
results in ARM platforms hashing uninitialised padding.  This padding
doesn't exist on other architectures.

Fix this by replacing NF_CT_TUPLE_U_BLANK() with memset() to ensure
everything is initialised.  There were only 4 bytes that
NF_CT_TUPLE_U_BLANK() wasn't clearing anyway (or 12 bytes on ARM).
