Subject: [PATCH] ipntable: Avoid memory allocation for filter.name
Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1465646
Upstream Status: iproute2.git commit 45c2ec9e95fef
commit 45c2ec9e95fef8eb6f0807d9a7e5f14c14313c7e
Author: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

ipntable: Avoid memory allocation for filter.name
The original issue was that filter.name might end up unterminated if
user provided string was too long. But in fact it is not necessary to
copy the commandline parameter at all: just make filter.name point to it
instead.
