I did investigate the "lets pad the structures in userspace" scenario. It has two problems. First of all, support for a few targets/matches is missing. Second, the point is to run unmodified binaries with either a 32 or 64 bit kernel without recompiling. Solving this transparently (i.e. same binary) would thus require a run-time check for the kernel architecture before the set/getsockopt can be made. As far as I could see this would require a lot of changes to the ebtables userland code base, too. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
