unused code in net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_bitmap_ipmac.c

The file net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_bitmap_ipmac.c seems to contain a lot
of static functions that are not used in the file:
bitmap_ipmac_add_timeout
bitmap_ipmac_do_add
bitmap_ipmac_do_del
bitmap_ipmac_do_head
bitmap_ipmac_do_list
bitmap_ipmac_do_test
bitmap_ipmac_gc_test
bitmap_ipmac_is_filled
bitmap_ipmac_kadt
bitmap_ipmac_same_set
bitmap_ipmac_uadt
Have I overooked something?
I was looking at this code, with Daniel Borkmann, because there seems to
be a bug in the function bitmap_ipmac_uadt:
if (tb[IPSET_ATTR_ETHER]) {
memcpy(e.ether, nla_data(tb[IPSET_ATTR_ETHER]), ETH_ALEN);
e.add_mac = 1;
}
Later in the same file, there is:
static struct ip_set_type bitmap_ipmac_type = {
...
.adt_policy = {
...
[IPSET_ATTR_ETHER] = { .type = NLA_BINARY,
.len = ETH_ALEN },
...},
...
};
The type NLA_BINARY indicates that the length is a maximum possible
length, and thus a check of the actual length is needed before the memcpy.
The file net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_mac.c seems to have a similar
problem. The following static functions are not used:
hash_mac4_data_equal
hash_mac4_data_list
hash_mac4_data_next
hash_mac4_kadt
hash_mac4_uadt
And the following code:
ether_addr_copy(e.ether, nla_data(tb[IPSET_ATTR_ETHER]));
in hash_mac4_uadt does not seem to have a check on the length, and the
field is defined in the same way as above.
