Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: fix nft_cmp_fast failure on big endian for size < 4
From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@xxxxxxxxx>
commit b855d416dc17061ebb271ea7ef1201d100531770 upstream.
nft_cmp_fast is used for equality comparisions of size <= 4. For
comparisions of size < 4 byte a mask is calculated that is applied to
both the data from userspace (during initialization) and the register
value (during runtime). Both values are stored using (in effect) memcpy
to a memory area that is then interpreted as u32 by nft_cmp_fast.
This works fine on little endian since smaller types have the same base
address, however on big endian this is not true and the smaller types
are interpreted as a big number with trailing zero bytes.
The mask therefore must not include the lower bytes, but the higher bytes
on big endian. Add a helper function that does a cpu_to_le32 to switch
the bytes on big endian. Since we're dealing with a mask of just consequitive
bits, this works out fine.
