This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled netfilter: nft_compat: skip family comparison in case of NFPROTO_UNSPEC to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11-ckt29. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 7c5a9c8668d7c60d60a32311e01b96fdac067f34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 18:04:09 +0200 Subject: netfilter: nft_compat: skip family comparison in case of NFPROTO_UNSPEC 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.
