Hello, Please consider queueing commit 3c0be5849259b729580c23549330973a2dd513a2 Author: Paul Burton <paulburton@xxxxxxxxxx> MIPS: Drop 32-bit asm string functions The commit is part of 5.5-rc1. We got a bug report about following nftables rule not matching even if it should on Linux 5.4.y mips32: meta iifname "br-vlan" 'iifname' uses strncpy(..., IFNAMSIZ) to copy dev->name to the register. The MIPS asm function doesn't zero-pad the remaining bytes, but that is needed for the compare op to work reliably. The reporter confirmed that this removal fixes the issue, the generic C version behaves as expected. The patch doesn't apply cleanly to 5.4, there is a minor conflict related to FORTIFY macro, but its easily resolved as all code is removed. I did not try earlier 4.4.y releases but I susepct they should also get this patch applied. I can send a 5.4.y backport if thats preferred. Thanks.
