Hey would not it be cool if this was bumped to xt_addrtype,
using .revision=0 with ipt_addrtype_info (with the old functionality),
and let .revision=1 use xt_addrtype_info (with the new functionality).
Much like the recently posted xt_tos/xt_owner.

xt_addrtype is ok, but the module loading in the userspace part (iptables) tries to load the libxt_addrtype.so first and only if it is not succeeded try to load libipt_addrtype.so also the latter shared object will never be loaded.

Also it may be better if only the xt_addrtype remains and ipt_addrtype_info is used for the old one and xt_addrtype_info for the new one. But it may be confusing: ipt_* in the xt_* files...


-struct ipt_addrtype_info {
+enum
+{
+	IPT_ADDRTYPE_INVERT_SOURCE	= 0x0001,
+	IPT_ADDRTYPE_INVERT_DEST	= 0x0002,
+	IPT_ADDRTYPE_LIMIT_IFACE_IN	= 0x0004,
+	IPT_ADDRTYPE_LIMIT_IFACE_OUT	= 0x0008,
+};
+
+struct ipt_addrtype_info_v1 {
+	u_int16_t	source;		/* source-type mask */
+	u_int16_t	dest;		/* dest-type mask */
+	u_int32_t	flags;
+};
+
+struct ipt_addrtype_info_v0 {

Is it actually ok to change ipt_addrtype_info into ipt_addrtype_info_v0?
It does not break binary compat, but source-level compat.



Hm, you are right. I checked this in xt_MARK, it doesn't use the _v0 suffix for the old _info structure. I'll change this in addrtype.
