What I've seen is that ebt_among extension of ebtables uses __alignof__(_xt_align) while the corresponding kernel module uses __alignof__(ebt_replace) to determin the alignment in EBT_ALIGN(). These are the results of these values on different platforms: x86 x86_64 ppc __alignof__(_xt_align) 4 8 8 __alignof__(ebt_replace) 4 8 4 So I assume here we can see why ebtales fails to add rules which use the among extension. I'm using kernel 2.6.33 and ebtables 2.0.10-4 Is this a known issue or are there any suggestions how to circumvent this problem? Thankyou very much.
The userspace alignment was changed to _xt_align to fix an alignment issue on a userspace32-kernel64 system (I think it was for an ARM device). So userspace must be right. The kernel alignment macro needs to change so it also uses _xt_align instead of ebt_replace. The userspace changes date back from June 29, 2009.
Can you do these changes and provide a patch? cheers, Bart -- Bart De Schuymer www.artinalgorithms.be -- 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
