For some reason ebtables reject blobs that provide entry points that are
not supported by the table.

What it should instead reject is the opposite, i.e. rulesets that
DO NOT provide an entry point that is supported by the table.

t->valid_hooks is the bitmask of hooks (input, forward ...) that will
see packets.  So, providing an entry point that is not support is
harmless (never called/used), but the reverse is NOT, this will cause
crash because the ebtables traverser doesn't expect a NULL blob for
a location its receiving packets for.

Instead of fixing all the individual checks, do what iptables is doing and
reject all blobs that doesn't provide the expected hooks.

Hi,

Could you please add the panic stack mentioned above and syzkaller reproducer ID to the commit text ?

  Harshit, can you check if this also silences your reproducer?

  Thanks!
