Without such counters, it is difficult to easily debug issues with MPJ
not having the backup flags on production servers.
This is not strictly a fix, but it eases to validate the following
patches without requiring to take packet traces, to query ongoing
connections with Netlink with admin permissions, or to guess by looking
at the behaviour of the packet scheduler. Also, the modification is self
contained, isolated, well controlled, and the increments are done just
after others, there from the beginning. It looks then safe, and helpful
to backport this.

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 reStructuredText 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.
