netfilter: NF_HOOK_COND has wrong conditional
commit ac5aa2e3332ec04889074afdbd1479424d0227a5 upstream.
The NF_HOOK_COND returns 0 when it shouldn't due to what I believe to be an
error in the code as the order of operations is not what was intended. C will
evalutate == before =. Which means ret is getting set to the bool result,
rather than the return value of the function call. The code says
if (ret = function() == 1)
when it meant to say:
if ((ret = function()) == 1)
Normally the compiler would warn, but it doesn't notice it because its
a actually complex conditional and so the wrong code is wrapped in an explict
set of () [exactly what the compiler wants you to do if this was intentional].
Fixing this means that errors when netfilter denies a packet get propagated
back up the stack rather than lost.
Problem introduced by commit 2249065f (netfilter: get rid of the grossness
in netfilter.h).
