Subject: netfilter: nft_compat: skip family comparison in case of NFPROTO_UNSPEC
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ba378ca9c04a5fc1b2cf0f0274a9d02eb3d1bad9 upstream.
Fix lookup of existing match/target structures in the corresponding list
by skipping the family check if NFPROTO_UNSPEC is used.
This is resulting in the allocation and insertion of one match/target
structure for each use of them. So this not only bloats memory
consumption but also severely affects the time to reload the ruleset
from the iptables-compat utility.
After this patch, iptables-compat-restore and iptables-compat take
almost the same time to reload large rulesets.
Fixes: 0ca743a55991 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add compatibility layer for x_tables")
