Do you have the patchset as a retrievable git tree, btw?
Only for kernel stuff:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc.git xt_LOG
If you want it for the user space part too, I can setup something...
That would be welcome.

[PATCH 6/6] iptables: xt_LOG: Add ring buffer support
in libxt_LOG.c:
+.size = XT_ALIGN(sizeof(struct xt_log_info_v1) + sizeof(void *)),
Why the extra void*?
The kernel space part of xt_log_info_v1 differs from the user space struct,
it contains an extra pointer to the ring buffer context.
Iptables must not see this extra pointer because the kernel writes to it.
I don't see that extra pointer (outside xt_log_info_v1) that you talk about.
+struct xt_log_info_v1 {
+ unsigned char level;
+ unsigned char logflags;
+ char prefix[30];
+
+ char ring_name[30];
+ unsigned long ring_size;
+ struct xt_LOG_ring_ctx *rctx;
+};
This is the struct as you defined it. First, you must not use
unsigned long (due to its flexible size, which is an ABI breaker; cf.
"Writing Netfilter Modules" PDF), and the pointer must be tagged for
8-alignment as well for the same reason.
Second, the kernel will reject a ruleset if (kernel) .targetsize != (user)
.size. This is likely to occur, since you essentially have
.targetsize=72 in xt_LOG.c and .size=72+sizeof(void*)
in libxt_LOG.
Check commit 8a252e8941cd50e4390e6fedf280ba1c7ff9ac43 for
trailing whitespace, git log -p shows them.

Please avoid BUG. Either do nothing in the 'else' case, or print
a courtesy message with some unkn_log_packet() or
WARN_ON_ONCE(). The same goes for xt_LOG_ring_exit, which I vote
for being reduced to WARN_ON as well. If the condition triggers,
one will have a little memory leak, but at least the machine
still runs.
