Hi Kevin,
Sorry I know I said that I would get a spare moment to do this work over
a month ago, but the University of Manchester's elves are very busy this
time of year! Here are the changes you requested...
Please let me know if there are issues building. I still don't much
understand why that last series had a problem.
Changes from v3:
- [XX/05] Modified the use of __nf_kptr_t in the xtables plugin structs
to use a union, with the original struct as a member. This trick
allows for removal of the heavy casting in the kernel which was
required in the earlier version.
- [XX/05] Squashed many of the commits (those from the xtables plugin
header files) into a single commit, since each individual commit now
makes far fewer changes.
Testing:
- Tested with purecap iptables tests (nftables only), passing 65/68
tests. Those which fail are expected to fail at this point, due
primarily to improperly written test cases, or missing versions of
userspace tooling.
Joshua Lant (5):
netfilter: Create new type for kernel pointers.
x_tables.h: pointers to unions in uapi struct
xt plugins: pointers to unions in uapi struct
ebtables: pointers to unions in uapi struct
xtables: move include to headers
