From: Cong Wang <cong.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 9cd3fd2054c3b3055163accbf2f31a4426f10317 ] When TCF_EM_SIMPLE was introduced, it is supposed to be convenient for ematch implementation: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20050105110048.GO26856@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ "You don't have to, providing a 32bit data chunk without TCF_EM_SIMPLE set will simply result in allocating & copy. It's an optimization, nothing more." So if an ematch module provides ops->datalen that means it wants a complex data structure (saved in its em->data) instead of a simple u32 value. We should simply reject such a combination, otherwise this u32 could be misinterpreted as a pointer.
