[ Upstream commit 3e0f64b7dd3149f75e8652ff1df56cffeedc8fc1 ] Credit calculations for the packet ratelimiting are not correct, as per the applied ratelimit of 25/second and burst 8, a total of 33 packets should have been accepted. This is true in iptables(33) but not in nftables (~65). For packet ratelimiting, use: div_u64(limit->nsecs, limit->rate) * limit->burst; to calculate credit, just like in iptables' xt_limit does. Moreover, use default burst in iptables, users are expecting similar behaviour.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
