Subject: [PATCH net 1/8] netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: fix panic that occurs when timer_type has garbage value

From: Juhee Kang <claudiajkang@...il.com>

Currently, when the rule related to IDLETIMER is added, idletimer_tg timer
structure is initialized by kmalloc on executing idletimer_tg_create
function. However, in this process timer->timer_type is not defined to
a specific value. Thus, timer->timer_type has garbage value and it occurs
kernel panic. So, this commit fixes the panic by initializing
timer->timer_type using kzalloc instead of kmalloc.

Test commands:
    # iptables -A OUTPUT -j IDLETIMER --timeout 1 --label test
    $ cat /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/test
      Killed

Splat looks like:
