netfilter: nf_tables: fix nft_cmp_fast failure on big endian for size < 4
nft_cmp_fast is used for equality comparisions of size <= 4. For comparisions of size < 4 byte a mask is calculated that is applied to both the data from userspace (during initialization) and the register value (during runtime). Both values are stored using (in effect) memcpy to a memory area that is then interpreted as u32 by nft_cmp_fast. This works fine on little endian since smaller types have the same base address, however on big endian this is not true and the smaller types are interpreted as a big number with trailing zero bytes. The mask therefore must not include the lower bytes, but the higher bytes on big endian. Add a helper function that does a cpu_to_le32 to switch the bytes on big endian. Since we're dealing with a mask of just consequitive bits, this works out fine. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
