[ Upstream commit 95eabdd207024312876d0ebed90b4c977e050e85 ]
Commit 2cfadb761d3d ("netfilter: conntrack: revisit gc autotuning")
changed the eviction rescheduling to the use average expiry of scanned
entries (within 1-60s) by doing:
for (...) {
expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...);
next_run += expires;
next_run /= 2;
}
The issue is the above will make the average ('next_run' here) more
dependent on the last expiration values than the firsts (for sets > 2).
Depending on the expiration values used to compute the average, the
result can be quite different than what's expected. To fix this we can
do the following:
for (...) {
expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...);
next_run += (expires - next_run) / ++count;
}

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.
