Both synchronous early drop algorithm and asynchronous gc worker completely ignore connections with IPS_OFFLOAD_BIT status bit set. With new functionality that enabled UDP NEW connection offload in action CT malicious user can flood the conntrack table with offloaded UDP connections by just sending a single packet per 5tuple because such connections can no longer be deleted by early drop algorithm. To mitigate the issue allow both early drop and gc to consider offloaded UDP connections for deletion. Signed-off-by: Vlad Buslov <vladbu@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
