The file net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_bitmap_ipmac.c seems to contain a lot of static functions that are not used in the file: bitmap_ipmac_add_timeout bitmap_ipmac_do_add bitmap_ipmac_do_del bitmap_ipmac_do_head bitmap_ipmac_do_list bitmap_ipmac_do_test bitmap_ipmac_gc_test bitmap_ipmac_is_filled bitmap_ipmac_kadt bitmap_ipmac_same_set bitmap_ipmac_uadt Have I overooked something?Yes: the file includes ip_set_bitmap_gen.h in which all those functions are used.
OK, thanks. I saw the incude, but I didn't sufficiently appreciate the #defines at the beginning. Thanks.

I was looking at this code, with Daniel Borkmann, because there seems to be a bug in the function bitmap_ipmac_uadt: if (tb[IPSET_ATTR_ETHER]) { memcpy(e.ether, nla_data(tb[IPSET_ATTR_ETHER]), ETH_ALEN); e.add_mac = 1; } Later in the same file, there is: static struct ip_set_type bitmap_ipmac_type = { ... .adt_policy = { ... [IPSET_ATTR_ETHER] = { .type = NLA_BINARY, .len = ETH_ALEN }, ...}, ... }; The type NLA_BINARY indicates that the length is a maximum possible length, and thus a check of the actual length is needed before the memcpy.You are right here (and the similar spotting in ip_set_hash_mac.c) - I'll prepare a patch and submit it.
Great. Thanks. julia
