ipset: Add wildcard support to net,iface
The net,iface equal functions currently compares the full interface names. In several cases, wildcard (or prefix) matching is useful. For example, when converting a large iptables rule-set to make use of ipset, I was able to significantly reduce the number of set elements by making use of wildcard matching. Wildcard matching is enabled by adding "wildcard" when adding an element to a set. Internally, this causes the IPSET_FLAG_IFACE_WILDCARD-flag to be set. When this flag is set, only the initial part of the interface name is used for comparison. Wildcard matching is done per element and not per set, as there are many cases where mixing wildcard and non-wildcard elements are useful. This means that is up to the user to handle (avoid) overlapping interface names. Signed-off-by: Kristian Evensen <kristian.evensen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@netfilter.org>
