+From 78850e7dba64a949c440dbdbe557f59409c6db48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] ip6tables: Fix checking existence of rule
+
+Pass the proper entry size when creating a match mask for checking the
+existence of a rule. Failing to do so causes wrong results.
+
+Reported-by: Jonathan Caicedo <jonathan@jcaicedo.com>
+Fixes: eb2546a846776 ("xshared: Share make_delete_mask() between ip{,6}tables")
