NFQUEUE had a bug with the ordering of fanout and bypass options which
was arising due to same and odd values for flags and bypass when used
together. Because of this, during bitwise ANDing of flags and
NFQ_FLAG_CPU_FANOUT, the value always evaluated to false (since
NFQ_FLAG_CPU_FANOUT=0x02) and led to skipping of fanout option
whenever it was used before bypass because then flags would be 1.

Before this patch,

$ sudo iptables -A FORWARD -j NFQUEUE -p TCP --sport 80 --queue-balance 0:3 --queue-cpu-fanout --queue-bypass

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
NFQUEUE    tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             tcp spt:http NFQUEUE balance 0:3 bypass

After this patch,

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
NFQUEUE    tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             tcp spt:http NFQUEUE balance 0:3 bypass cpu-fanout

Shivani, thanks for following up on this.

Would you also update extensions/libxt_NFQUEUE.t to add a test so we
make sure this regression doesn't happen ever again?

Thanks.

Just to clarify: No need to resend this patchset.

A follow up standalone patch to update the test part would be
sufficient.

I just did that! :) Testing and sending out the patch.

Applied, but please follow up with the test file update.

Thanks Shivani.
