From 3e5e524ffb5fcf2447eb5dd9f8e54ad22dd9baa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:17:10 +0100 Subject: netfilter: CONFIG_COMPAT: allow delta to exceed 32767 with 32 bit userland and 64 bit kernels, it is unlikely but possible that insertion of new rules fails even tough there are only about 2000 iptables rules. This happens because the compat delta is using a short int. Easily reproducible via "iptables -m limit" ; after about 2050 rules inserting new ones fails with -ELOOP. Note that compat_delta included 2 bytes of padding on x86_64, so structure size remains the same.
