When all tried source tuples are in use, the connection request (skb) and the new conntrack will be dropped in nf_confirm() due to the non-recoverable clash. Make it so that the last 32 attempts are allowed to evict a colliding entry if this connection is already closing and the new sequence number has advanced past the old one. Such "all tuples taken" secenario can happen with tcp-rpc workloads where same dst:dport gets queried repeatedly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
