[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 055/104] netfilter: nft_compat: skip family comparison in case of NFPROTO_UNSPEC

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Oct 26 2015 - 10:14:33 EST


3.16.7-ckt19 -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")
