netfilter: xt_nfacct: Fix alignment mismatch in xt_nfacct_match_info
When running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit iptables binary, the size of the xt_nfacct_match_info struct diverges. kernel: sizeof(struct xt_nfacct_match_info) : 40 iptables: sizeof(struct xt_nfacct_match_info)) : 36 Trying to append nfacct related rules results in an unhelpful message. Although it is suggested to look for more information in dmesg, nothing can be found there. # iptables -A <chain> -m nfacct --nfacct-name <acct-object> iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information. This patch fixes the memory misalignment by enforcing 8-byte alignment within the struct's first revision. This solution is often used in many other uapi netfilter headers.
