    net: sched: em_ipt: keep the user-specified nfproto and dump it · ba3d24d4

    If we dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as nfproto user-space libxtables can't handle
    it and would exit with an error like:
    "libxtables: unhandled NFPROTO in xtables_set_nfproto"
    In order to avoid the error return the user-specified nfproto. If we
    don't record it then the match family is used which can be
    NFPROTO_UNSPEC. Even if we add support to mask NFPROTO_UNSPEC in
    iproute2 we have to be compatible with older versions which would be
    also be allowed to add NFPROTO_UNSPEC matches (e.g. addrtype after the
    last patch).
    
    v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping the rule,
        also don't allow the nfproto to be unspecified (explained above)
    v2: adjust changes to missing patch, was patch 04 in v1
