The net,iface equal functions currently compares the full interface
names. In several cases, wildcard (or prefix) matching is useful. For
example, when converting a large iptables rule-set to make use of ipset,
I was able to significantly reduce the number of set elements by making
use of wildcard matching.
Wildcard matching is enabled by setting the
IPSET_FLAG_IFACE_WILDCARD-flag when adding an element. When this flag
is set, only the initial part of the interface name of the set element
is used for comparison.
I am submitting this change as an RFC, as I am not sure if my approach
with using a flag (or wildcard matching at all) is OK. Please note that
this patch is against kernel 4.14, as that is what my current devices
are running. A final submission will be against net-next.
I will send my changes to the ipset-user space utility/library in a
follow-up email.
