[ Upstream commit 2cfadb761d3d0219412fd8150faea60c7e863833 ]
as of commit 4608fdfc07e1
("netfilter: conntrack: collect all entries in one cycle")
conntrack gc was changed to run every 2 minutes.
On systems where conntrack hash table is set to large value, most evictions
happen from gc worker rather than the packet path due to hash table
distribution.
This causes netlink event overflows when events are collected.
This change collects average expiry of scanned entries and
reschedules to the average remaining value, within 1 to 60 second interval.
To avoid event overflows, reschedule after each bucket and add a
limit for both run time and number of evictions per run.
If more entries have to be evicted, reschedule and restart 1 jiffy
into the future.

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.
