[PATCH 4.1 093/202] netfilter: nft_compat: skip family comparison in case of NFPROTO_UNSPEC

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ba378ca9c04a5fc1b2cf0f0274a9d02eb3d1bad9 upstream.

Fix lookup of existing match/target structures in the corresponding list
by skipping the family check if NFPROTO_UNSPEC is used.

This is resulting in the allocation and insertion of one match/target
structure for each use of them. So this not only bloats memory
consumption but also severely affects the time to reload the ruleset
from the iptables-compat utility.

After this patch, iptables-compat-restore and iptables-compat take
almost the same time to reload large rulesets.

Fixes: 0ca743a55991 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add compatibility layer for x_tables")
