Subject: PROBLEM: iptables error after kernel upgrade

Dear Sir,

I'm writing to report a suspected kernel bug.
The report is formatted as described in the REPORTING-BUGS file.

[1.] iptables error after kernel upgrade

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

My system was running kernel 2.6.39.2 with iptables 1.4.10. The kernel
was non-modular and had all the required features (e.g. connlimit)
compiled in it. The netfilter rules were implemented by a startup sh
script.
Recently I upgraded the kernel to version 3.8.2, compiled with the
same options as the old one. It boots with no problem but some of the
iptables rules generate lines saying "Protocol wrong type for socket".
I guess something has been changed in the kernel codes.

[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

[4.] Kernel information
[4.1.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

Linux version 3.8.2 (root@...tname) (gcc version 4.4.6 (GCC) ) #1 SMP
Fri Apr 26 09:59:09 HKT 2013

[4.2.] Kernel .config file:

See attachments 4.2-config-2.6.39.2 and 4.2-config-3.8.2

[5.] Most recent kernel version which did not have the bug:

Version 3.5.7
The problem occurs from version 3.6.1 to the latest 3.9. However the
ChangeLog-3.6.1 does not seem to mention changes in the netfilter
codes.

[6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic
information resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)

The error is reproducible with an example command taken from the iptables man
page :
"iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 23 -m connlimit
--connlimit-above 2 -j REJECT"

[8.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)
